The reproductive cycle inGlossina morsitansandGlossina swynnertoni

Abstract

During a visit to Tanganyika, thanks to the kindness and help of the Department of Tsetse Research, I was able to investigate the reproductive cycles in Glossina morsitans and G. swynnertoni, and compare them with the cycle in G. palpalis. In the previous paper in this Journal, Mrs H. N. Mellanby gives a detailed description of her work with G. palpalis, and the following comments on the similarity of the other species is all that is required.
