Df(2L)BSC41 was isolated as a P transposase-induced male recombination event involving P{lacW}l(2)k05404k05404 and P{EP}EP946. The deletion was isolated as a dpov1-cn1 recombinant chromosome from the cross dpov1 cn1 bw1 females x dpov1 P{lacW}l(2)k05404k05404/P{EP}EP946 cn1; TMS, P{Delta2-3}99B/+ males. The deletion chromosome retained one or both mini-white markers from the P elements used in the screen. Polytene chromosome squashes showed the breakpoints 28A4-B1;28D3-9. Df(2L)BSC41 failed to complement LanB1KG03456 and mts02496.
