title: Genetics of the hemolymph esterases of Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
abstract: When hemolymph from adults of Lucilia cuprina was partitioned on native polyacrylamide gels, nonspecific esterase staining demonstrated 10 bands with up to six bands in an individual. The bands derive from alleles at two loci, EHA (five alleles) and EHB (four alleles). EHA is located on chromosome 4, 16.3 map units from sv (singed vibrissae) and 22.1 map units from ra (radial vein gaps). EHB is located on chromosome 5, 34.0 map units from to2 (topaz2 eyes) and 7.2 map units from mv (M1-veinless).
