Abstract
A melanic form of the European grape berry moth, Lobesia botrana, is d escribed from a rearing colony maintained at INRA, Bordeaux, France. F rom the offspring of the crosses with the typical form, F-1, F-2 and b ackcrosses, it is established that the melanic form is genetically det ermined and its inheritance controlled by a single recessive non sex-l inked gene (Roe). Likewise, possible practical uses of the genetic mar ker in field and laboratory tests are discussed.
