Summary

2 reference strains ofDrosophila subobscura (‘Küsnacht’ and ‘ch-cu-Athens’), widely used for the study of inversion polymorphism in this species, were investigated with respect to their allozyme composition by starch gel electrophoresis in 18 different enzyme systems coded by 18 different gene loci. Both strains are monomorphic for all 18 loci with only 1 exception. A standardized method of designation is proposed, to allow a direct comparison of all enzyme data in theDrosophila obscura species group.
