Abstract
On the basis of experiments in regulation of environmental factors, cross breeding, and larval dissections, it is concluded that the brown and green colors observed in 4th stage larvae of Culex pipiens are due to hereditary differences rather than to the direct influence of the environment. It is believed that these differences are concerned with the properties of the fat body[long dash]probably with its index of refraction.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
