Morphology
The strongest associations with forewing tip (C locus) occur at the gene arrow and a phylogenetic network for a 100-kb region around this gene similarly clusters individuals by phenotype. In Drosophila Arrow is essential for Wnt signalling in wing development

Morphology
78-kb deletion in the 5′ region of the cortex gene that includes a facultative 5′UTR exon detected in larval wing disk transcriptomes. Phenotypic effect confirmed by CRISPR mutagenesis of this exon. The ivory deletion causes the loss of 1 of 2 promoters.

Morphology
A cluster of SNPs most strongly associated with background colour (B locus) is found just upstream of the gene yellow and a phylogenetic network for a 30-kb region around yellow groups individuals nearly perfectly by phenotype; although some individuals classed as heterozygous were intermingled with homozygotes.
