Using Hirsch-Hadler photo taxis mazes, selection for photopositive and pho-tonegative behavior was carried out for 21 generations in Drosophila ananassae. The chromosomes that are important in influencing photomaze behavior in D. ananassae are different from what has been observed for other members of the melanogaster species group, and the differences can-not be entirely attributed to the chromosome r arrangements which have occurred uring the evolution of these related species.
