Three new autosomal mutants of the milkweed bug, Oncopeltus, obtained by treatment with ethylmethane sulphonate, are described and compared with the two other previously known variants. Preliminary data are given on the results of testcrosses and of chromatographic analysis of some pteridene pigments.
