Seven temperature-sensitive paralytic mutants were recovered from 4544 lines of ethylmethanesulphonate (EMS) treated autosomes in Drosophila melanogaster. These mutants have been designated temperature-induced paralytic (tip). The tip mutations belong to six different genes; four of these, tip-A, Tip-B, tip-C and tip-D are on the second chromosome while tip-E and tip-F are on the third chromosome. This paper describes the paralysing behaviour and genetic localization of the tip mutants.
