phenotype: Wings large, held out from sides at 45-90o angle, curved downward, and somewhat pointed. Vein L1 thickened; crossveins closer together, sometimes broken. Thoracic and vertical bristles duplicated in majority of flies. G/ft has exaggerated ft phenotype. Partially inhibited by ds/+ and much inhibited by ds/ds. Homozygous lethal. RK2.
cytology: Placed between 24D2 and 24F1 on the basis of its inclusion in Df(2L)M-zC = Df(2L)24D2-5;25A2-3 but not in Df(2L)M-zB = Df(2L)24E2-F1;25A1-2 (Morgan, Bridges, Schultz, and Curry, 1939, Carnegie Inst. Wash. Year Book 38: 273-77).
other information: Causes local shortening of map by about 1.1 units. Is a deficiency for or an allele of ft.
