Linkage data and revised maps for 52 autosomal loci in L. cuprina are presented. Examination of the linkage relationships of biochemically and morphologically similar mutations in L. cuprina, Musca domestica L. and Drosophila melanogaster (Mg) suggests that the major linkage groups have survived largely intact during the evolution of the higher Diptera.
