First instar larvae grow only slightly. Mosaic analysis demonstrates mutant phenotype is non-autonomous, clones survive as sectors of mutant tissue only in the abdomen. Individuals survive when Dp(1;4)wm65g or Dp(1;3)wm49a is present. Surviving males are phenotypically normal and fertile.
Lethality acts in the first instar stages. No growth. Survive as XY but not as X0 males in presence of either Dp(1;4)wm65g or Dp(1;3)wm49a.
