Strict geographic heterogeneity of electrophoretic spectra of different populations was registered: south-eastern populations (7n=105) are characterized by a clonal structure, whereas western (from 3n = 45 to 4n = 60) and south-western (2n=30) ones have a high level of polymorphism. The Crimea sample (4n=60) is well isolated, has no clonal structure and is characterized by a series of specifi c alleles , which are absent in forms from continental Ukraine. All the forms turned out to be well keywords: earthworms, Octolasion, Octodrilus, polyploidy, genetic structure, morphology. creators_name: Garbar, А. V. creators_name: Onyschuк, І.
