Mutants show an apparently normal embryonic development; however during each of the three larval instars between 12% and 26% of these mutants die, although the majority of the lethality occurs at the end of the pre-pupal stage. These mutants exhibit a characteristic prepupal phenotype, with their anterior spiracles close to the midline. Kr-h17id/Kr-h1k04411, and Kr-h17.1/Kr-h1k04411 animals die as late prepupae and show abnormal spiracle positioning.
The central nervous system of Kr-h110642 embryos appears normal.
The vast majority of homozygous animals show a lethal phenotype before head sac eversion. Aberrant positioning of the anterior spiracles, close to the midline) is occasionally seen in these pupae, a phenotype also seen in combination with Kr-h17.1.
Lethality occurs during third instar larval or pupal stages. Mutants exhibit visible disc abnormalities.

Chromosome carries 2 or more P{lacW} insertions.
Lethality id revertable by excision of the P{lacW} element.
