Polytene chromosomes normal.

notopleural bristle | somatic clone
presutural bristle | somatic clone
scutum | somatic clone
X ray induced somatic clones homozygous for Antp20 demonstrate that leg development is not defective but there was some aberrant anterior mesonotal morphology: absence presutural and notopleural bristles.
