Symbol	Chr.No	Map	Name	Explanation	Allele
elp	18	9.9	ellipsoid egg	Spontaneous;egg shape ellipsoidal: elpm(眉蚕長形卵,ellipsoid-egg of Mayuko)similar.	elp^m
emi	12	9.5	miniature egg	Spontaneous;egg size small like sm and sm-2, but fertile and viable though variable in degrees.
Esd	W	?	egg size determinant	Spontaneous;presence of a morphological gene, egg size determinant, is demonstrated first by comparison of the egg size of triploid female of ZWW and ZZW with diploid ZW, Ge on the Z chromosome is supposed to be a translocation of this gene.
Ge	1	14	Giant egg	Spontaneous;length and width of egg 1.26 and 1.11 times of the normal egg, respectively, hatched larvae bigger and heavier; hatchability reduced: Ge2 allele larger egg size. Might be translocation of Esd on the W chromosome.	Ge²
ki	6	29.7	kidney	Spontaneous;egg kidney-or bean-shaped, embryo within it develops only ectodermal organs such as skin, mouth parts, bristles, etc., but no mesodermal ones differentiated, and dies irrespective of　 its own genotype is ki/ki or ki/+:kic (筑紫腎臓形卵, kidney of Chikushi) and kit(玉沢腎臓形卵, kidney of Tamazawa, induced by low temperature)similar.	ki^c , ki^t
ki-2	19	?	kidney2	Spontaneous;egg shape like ki, number of eggs reduced, fertility low, mostly die as embryo.
sm	3	41.8	small egg	Spontaneous;eggs extremely small and almost spherical; sterile lacking proteinaceous yolk sphere within, vitellogenin present in pupal hemolymph but scarcely transported into oocyte: smn(無卵, eggless) homozygotes produce no egg in well developed ovarioles, oocytes degenerated due to abnormal differentiation and function of follicle cells.	smⁿ
sm-2	13	0	small egg 2	Spontaneous;like sm, eggs small and sterile.
sm-3	7	4.5	small egg 3
sp	23	22.9	spindle shaped	Spontaneous;eggs long and narrow, attenuated at both ends: sp2 and sp3 similar.	sp² , sp³
sp-t	12	?	splindle-egg of Tamazawa	Low temperature induced;egg shape long and narrow.
vit	20	23	scanty of vitellin	MNU-induced;eggs laid by homozygous female white and sterile; containing Egg Specific Protein, synthesized in ovary, in comparable amounts to normal eggs, while vitellin proteins of hemolymph origin in traces. See also Pes and sm.
