Reduced pupa inhibits expression of HMGCR in the larval corpora allatal cells survived to form puparia that then died without pupation. Typically, these larvae were delayed reaching the pupariation stage, and their puparial size (A, ventral view; B, dorsal view) was distinctly less than normal (C). In a frequent phenotype, the projected papillae were appressed together (D, E). Some 3^rd instar larvae did not properly contract the body in forming a puparium, especially at the anterior end involving the operculum (G), similar to that reported in Fig. 1 of Henrich et al., (2000), reprinted here as panel F.
