Abstract Mitochondrial DNA, sex linked allozymes, and chromosome A gene arrangement data, from eight European natural populations of Drosophila subobscura, were analyzed to determine the existence of latitudinal clines. Strong north-south correlations with latitude were found for gene arrangements and for the Hbdh and 6Pgdh allozymes. Gametic associations between the A2 gene arrangement, the Hbdh 96 and the 6Pgdh 96 alleles, point out some kind of epistatic interaction. At mtDNA level, the Hae III, A variant did not show a previously found north-south clinal variation.
