Nucleotide variability of mtDNA extracted from 144 isofemale lines collected in the whole range of D. simulans was analysed with 10-15 restriction enzymes and 73 lines were studied using one or a few enzymes. All clones were distributed into 3 mitochondrial genomes, siI, siII and siIII. These types are allopatric and can define geographic races. Mixed populations occur only in Madagascar and Reunion, where siII and siIII are found together. Among 40 sites detected with 10 enzymes, the variability of the coding region is extremely low, with one or no polymorphic restriction sites depending on the type. The control A + T-rich region is more variable in length and in restriction sites, and allows subtypes to be designated. Several lines were heteroplasmic for the length of the genome. These results are relevant to the evolutionary history of the species, its recent worldwide extension and to probable founder effects at the origin of each of the three types.
