Abstract
Variation in PGM (phosphoglucomutase) and MDH (malate dehydrogenase) a llozymes and in mitochondrial and nuclear (ribosomal) DNA gives eviden ce of at least three independent origins of triploid Trichoniscus pusi llus pusillus. Much of the genetic variation found may reflect variati on within the parental diploid population(s), but it is argued that so me of the variation in PGM allozymes have accumulated within the parth enogenetic lines. Based upon the variation at this locus, 15 genetical ly distinct clones are distinguished.
