Removes crossveins. Developmental sequence differs from that of cv and cvl-5 mutants; longitudinal veins form in time and manner expected of wild type; cvl-61 differs in that the wings begin vein development with a joining of the wing surfaces through the crossvein region; partial repair is accomplished by a secondary developmental sequence, including withdrawal of cell processes joining the wing surfaces at this position and subsequent reorganization of a crossvein around this gap (FBrf0016197).
