It is shown that the weighted parity problem for gammoids, with matching and transversal matroids as special cases, can be reduced to the weighted graphic matching problem. Since the cycle matroid of a series parallel graph is a gammoid, this means that it is possible to solve the weighted parity problem for the cycle matroid of a series parallel graph by graphic matching.
