Genetic equilibrium of polymorphic enzyme loci from four natural populations of Cheilosia vernalis was tested. The study populations were from different regions of the Balkan Peninsula: Mediterranean area (Morinj, Montenegro: CVMOR), low mountain in the Pannonian plain (Fruska Gora, Serbia: CVFG), and two high Dinaric mountains (Durmitor, Montenegro: CVDUR; and Kopaonik, Serbia: CVKOP). Out of twelve enzyme loci analyzed for genetic variability, only four to six were polymorphic in the studied populations.
