Abstract: Isozymes can be used in order to study the importance of reproductive barriers between populations or species. The aim of this work is to study allozyme polymorphism in natural populations of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) and Chrysoperla kolthoffi (Navás) collected in the West of France. Two enzymatic systems were studied by starch gel electrophoresis: diaphorase (DIA) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). For each enzymatic system, presumed loci were scored and genetic interpretation was proposed. The study of allozyme polymorphism at the DIA and IDH-2 loci provided evidence of marked genetic differences between Ch. carnea and Ch. kolthoffi.
