title: Multiple phosphoglucomutase alleles in two species of Mansonia mosquito.
abstract: Multiple phosphoglucomutase (E.C.2.7.5.1) alleles are found in the mosquitoes Mansonia crassipes and M. uniformis. The present study reveals 4 Pgm alleles, of which Pgm(B) and Pgm(C) are common to both species while Pgm(A) is present only in M. crassipes and Pgm(D) only in M uniformis. The frequencies in both species accord well with Hardy-Weinberg expectations. The most frequent allele is that controlling a phenotype with an intermediate electrophoretic mobility, viz Pgm(B) in M. crassipes and Pgm(C) in M. Uniformis.
