A set of ~50 targeted deficiencies created by exploiting hybrid element insertion (HEI) and resolution; designed to fill gaps in deletion coverage.

Only the distal tip of the salivary gland turns in embryos homozygous for Df(3L)BSC8 by stage 14.
The Df(3L)BSC8 chromosome does not act as a dominant suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}2Lt insertion).
The miniwhite marker from P{lacW}l(3)j11B2j11B2 was deleted or disrupted.
