An electrophoretic study of Pelecitus roemeri from Macropus robustus, M. giganteus and Wallabia bicolor revealed no genetic differences at 23 enzyme loci. The genetic data support the existing morphological evidence that P. roemeri from these three hosts represents a single species. The data show...
