37bp deletion near the 3' end of α-Spec, resulting in a frameshift and termination 11 amino acids downstream of the deletion. This removes the last 90 amino acids of the wild-type protein.

Acidification in the midgut of homozygous larvae is often less than in wild-type larvae.
Homozygous larvae have constrictions along the length of their caecae. Cytoplasmic granules are scattered throughout the cytoplasm in caecal cells, in contrast to wild-type, where they are restricted to the basal part of the cell. Rescued to the adult stage by α-SpecRpS27A.PL.
