Abstract
THE chromosomes of several species of tsetse-fly have been studied by Itard1. These include Glossina tachinoides Westwood and Glossina morsitans orientialis Vanderplank (Glossina morsitans morsitans Westwood in the terminology adopted by Itard). Glossina morsitans orientalis is one of the two main tsetse-flies which occur in Rhodesia, and so I thought it worthwhile for comparison to study the other, Glossina pallidipes Austen. The G. m. orientalis material used by Itard originated in Rhodesia.
