Abstract
Two dissimilar forms of males, homomorphs and heteromorphs were found to occur in laboratory cultures of Cheyletits malaccensis Ouds. In crossing experiments, no genetic basis for male polymorphism was observed, i.e., no specific alleles were discovered. This kind of polymorphism appeared to be a developmental anomaly
