Homozygotes show disruption of the ommatidial array at the posterior rim of the eye when raised at 18oC. When raised at 29oC there is a general lack of ommatidial structure. The eyes may have mottled pigmentation with black pock marks visible on the surface of the eye, or pigment may be dispersed as a ring around the edge of the eye ("spectacle" phenotype).
The antennal funiculus is reduced in size in hemizygous males raised at 29oC. All large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus are missing, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is reduced. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the coeloconic and trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased compared to wild-type. The number of large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is greatly reduced in hemizygous males raised at 18oC, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type.
No eggs are laid.
