All flies carrying ptctuf-1 in trans to ptc47 have severely reduced, rough eyes, a highly enlarged head vertex (ocellar triangle, fronto-orbital plate and frons), outgrowths of head cuticle and large numbers of missing, misplaced or ectopic head bristles. ptc559.1/ptc47 flies have mildly reduced eyes, a normal sized head vertex and low incidences of head cuticle outgrowths and ectopic or misplaced head bristles. They also occasionally lack one or both antennae.
