Abstract

Based on the results of field surveys carried out between May 1977 and June 1981, the distributions of Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newst., G. palpalis gambiensis Vanderplank and G. tachinoides Westw. in Mali are presented and compared with previously reported information. The distributions of both G. m. submorsitans and G. p. gambiensis were found to be greater than previously reported, whereas that of G. tachinoides was found to be less. The apparent northern limits of both G. m. submorsitans and G. p. gambiensis are at approximately 14°20′N but that of G. tachinoides is at only about 13°10′N. No specimens of G. longipalpis Wied., previously reported from Mali, were captured.
