lz^38.71 adults have a mild mutant eye phenotype.

Homozygotes have a mild rough eye phenotype, with disruption of the ommatidial array at the posterior rim of the eye. Black pock marks are visible on the surface of the eye. The posterior retina occasionally contains perturbed lenses and lacks some pigment cells.

The number of large and small basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is greatly reduced in hemizygous males, and the number of trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased. The number of coeloconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is normal. The density of the trichoid sensilla on the antennal funiculus is increased and the density of the basiconic sensilla on the antennal funiculus is decreased compared to wild-type.
