pyd1/Df(3R)pydC2 and pyd1/pydC5 flies have extra macrochaetae on the head and notum compared to wild-type.
Reduced grooming behavior.
Extra bristles present in homozygote at or near almost all normal bristle locations but most frequently in dorsocentral and scutellar regions. Heterozygote in some stocks occasionally shows extra bristles, especially vibrissae. Character expressed better at low temperatures and in large flies. Combinations with h and Hw generally superadditive for bristle number. RK3.

Order of alleles based on increasing severity of phenotype when hemizygous: pyd1 < pydJ17 < pydJ4 = pydJ2 < pydG18 = pydG7 < pydJ14 = pydC5.
