Figure 3. Variation of color and forewing band shape in a H. himera×H. erato notabalis F2 cross.

In Panel A, the variation of white/red scale proportions in the forewing is presented across particular color pattern genotypes. All the offspring homozygous with the H. himera D allele showed only yellow pigments, whereas individuals homozygous for the H. e. notabilis alleles possessed were white. Heterozygous individuals were typically white, although there was some variation (Panel B). Panel C and D shows variation in forewing band shape among F2 individuals as a function of Sd genotype.
