Abstract

An autosomal, dominant lethal mutant of the boll weevil, high-insert, is described. This mutation is characterized phenotypically by having the antennal insertion much nearer the eyes than normal. Matings between high-insert and nonmutants result in a 1:1 mutant-nonmutant ratio, and mutant/mutant matings yielded a 2:1 mutant nonmutant ratio. In addition more than one-hall of the mutant females failed to oviposit.
