The allozyme polymorphism of Diadromus pulchellus has been analysed at 22 loci, the expression of one (Est-4) being male-limited. Six loci were found polymorphic for two (Ldh-1, Ldh-2, Acp-2, Pgi and Sdh) or three (Est-3) codominant alleles. Allele frequencies are similar in males and females at four loci in a laboratory population but there are important heterozygote deficiencies in females at three of them. The possibilities of negative heterosis or assortative mating to explain this deficiency are discussed.
