Abstract

A survey for malic enzyme (Me) in laboratory strains of species A and species B of Anopheles culicifacies had uncovered two electrophoretic variants, slow and fast, in two strains of species B. Genetic analysis revealed the two variants to be codominant alleles segregating at a locus, Me, which is sex linked. Because of the XX–XY sex determining mechanism, in F, females, two electromorphs, viz., slow and fast, were observed, whereas in males only one electromorph of maternal origin was seen. Linkage experiments with another X-linked mutant, white eye (w), indicated the map distance between the two loci to be 9.52 ± 0.86.
