The genetic relationships between morphologically indistinguishable marine and brackish-water populations of Monocelis lineata (O.F. Muller, 1774) (Proseriata: Monocelididae) were analysed by means of allozyme electrophoresis. Fifteen samples of M. lineata (13 from the Mediterranean and two from the Atlantic) from coastal marine and brackish-water habitats were examined for variation at 18 loci. Eleven loci were polymorphic in at least one population of M. lineata. Low levels of within-population genetic variability were found, with average observed and expected heterozygosity values ranging from H(o)=0.015+/-0.015 to 0.113+/- 0.044, and from H(e)=0.028+/-0.028 to 0.138+/-0.054, respectively. The occurrence of a number of private alleles indicated a marked genetic divergence among populations of M. lineata, with Rogers' genetic distances ranging from D(R)=0.003 to 0.676 and a highly significant F(ST) value (0.918+/-0.012, P
