在西印度群岛的安提瓜农村，从一个18升的塑料桶中收集了19只埃及伊蚊幼虫。项目地点位于Antigua北端与Dickenson Bay海岸毗邻的农村地区，位于Halcyon Cove Beach以南约50米（17°09′42.54″北纬，61°50′44.50″西经，海拔16米）。幼虫和3只成虫形态不典型。四龄马驹马鞍侧毛的长度减少（第1-X组），测量值为马鞍长度的0.36至0.57。两个非典型的雌性标本显示腹部覆盖着大量暗白色到金色的鳞片。第三个标本的中间骨上有精细的金色鳞片，头部顶部有青铜鳞片。这些成年标本表现出与描述的突变密切相似的形态特征，尽管这些特征的遗传基础尚未得到证实。其余的成虫在形态上是典型的。将成虫和幼虫与佛罗里达、巴哈马和安提瓜的野外种群以及罗格斯大学的洛克菲勒菌株进行了比较。
Nineteen Aedes aegypti larvae were collected in rural Antigua, West Indies, from an 18-liter plastic bucket. The location was in a rural area at the northern end of Antigua bordering the coast of Dickenson Bay and approximately 50 m south of Halcyon Cove Beach (17°09′42.54″N, 61°50′44.50″W; elevation 16 m). Atypical morphology was noted in larvae and 3 reared adult females. Fourth instars showed a reduction in length of the lateral hair on the saddle (seta 1–X) with measurements ranging from 0.36 to 0.57 the length of the saddle. Two atypical female specimens displayed an abundance of dull white to gold scales that blanketed the abdomen. A 3rd specimen bore fine, golden scales on the mesonotum and bronze scales on the vertices of the head. These adult specimens demonstrated morphological characteristics that closely parallel described mutations, although the genetic basis for these characters was not confirmed. The remaining adults in the collection were morphologically typical. Adults and larvae were compared to field populations from Florida, Bahamas, and Antigua, as well as to the Rockefeller strain maintained at Rutgers University.
