Transfer of the temperature‐sensitive mutant 1 (1) su (f) ts67g from 25d̀C to 30d̀C causes sterility of the females. The effect of a 25–30‐25d̀C temperature shift procedure on oviposition and ovarian development is analysed. The egg laying of the mutant ceases and severe morphological aberrations are induced. When the females are shifted back to 25d̀C after a 5‐day exposure to 30d̀C, the normal functions of their ovaries are restored. The effect of the 1 (1) su (f) ts67g mutation on oogenesis is discussed in the light of previous results on the larval development of the mutant and results on other temperature‐sensitive su (f) alleles.
