Extract

Glossina longipennis is a species of tsetse-fly of which very little is known beyond its general distribution. In Kenya Colony, it inhabits extensive areas of the sparsely populated districts in the north and east. It extends across the coastal hinterland and penetrates into Tanganyika, where it is found in the Pare-Usambara belt (Potts, 1937). The species also occurs in a somewhat isolated belt in the vicinity of the lower Southern Uaso Nyiro in the Masai Reserve and continues into the Sonjo-Natron fly-belt of Tanganyika Territory.
