      Reference

      Hemizygous females produce eggs with thin chorions. Hemizygotes have normal eyes and scutellar bristles. Chorion gene amplification is less than 7% of normal.

      (Landis and Tower, 1999)

      Eggs have no dorsal appendages and have a thin, fragile cuticle: defective in chorion gene amplification.
