Abstract

A new character discovered on the superior claspers of male Glossina lonipalpis Wied. is described. This is a ciliated fold in the inner angle of the distal part of the claspers. It is absent in G. pallidipes Aust. The authors believe that this character will facilitate the study of the systematics of these species; and they propose to modify the key for the identification of Glossina.

Résumé

Les auteurs décrivent un nouveau caractère morphologique sur les cerques du mâle de Glossina longipalpis Wied. C'est un pli cilié qui se trouve dans l'angle interne de la partie distale des cerques: il n'existe pas chez G. pallidipes. Les auteurs pensent que ce caractère facilitera l'étude de la systématique de ces espèces et proposent de modifier la clé de détermination du genre Glossina.
