In this report two rare pattern types:
distincta (new name proposed by Prof. T. Komai) (Fig. 1-a, b) and
rostrata (new name proposed by Prof. T. Komai) (Fig. 1-c, d) are dealt with. Both of these are due to the factors (P
D=factor for
distincta, P
R=factor for
rostrata) belonging to the same allelomorphic series as
succinea,
axyridia, spectabilis, conspicua, forficula, transversifascia, aulica and
gutta and behave as dominants to
succinea, but the heterozygote of
distincta and
succinea and the heterozygote of
rostrata and
succinea often can be distinguished from the respective homozygotes in that the spot has a concavity on the posterior side (Fig. 1-b, d). The concavity, however, is missing in some cases, and the heterozygote may show the same appearance as the homozygote (Fig. 1-a, c).
Distincta is completely dominant to
forficula and
rostrata. The heterozygote of
distincta and
axyridis (P
DP
A) resembles the heterozygote of
conspicua and
axyridis (see Report II, Fig. 1-l, m), but can be distinguished from the latter by the presence of the antero-median spot of
axyridia (Fig. 2-c). All of the heterozygotes of
conspicua and
distincta (P
CP
D),
gutta and
distincta (P
GP
D),
distincta and
spectabilis (P
DP
S),
distincta and
transversifascia (P
DP
T) and
distincta and
aulica (P
DP
Au) have phenotypes similar to
distincta, except that the antero-median spot is entirely missing (Fig. 2-d).
Rostrata is completely dominant to
forficula. The heterozygote of
rostrata and
axyridis (P
RP
A) resembles the heterozygote of
spectabilis and
axyridis (see Report II, Fig. 1-h, i), but can be distinguished from it in the presence of the antero-median spot of
axyradia (Fig. 2-g). The heterozygotes of
spectabilis and
rostrata (P
SP
R) and
rostrata and
aulica (P
RP
Au) cannot be distinguished from the heterozygote of
spectabilis and
forficula (Fig. 2-h). The heterozygotes of
conspicua and
rostrata (P
CP
R),
gutta and
rostrata (P
GP
R) and
transversifascia and
rostrata (P
TP
R) cannot be distinguished from the heterozygote of
conspicua and
forficula (Fig. 2-i).
