Abstract

The age compositions of samples of females of Glossina pallidipes Aust., G. palpalis fuscipes Newst. and G. brevipalpis Newst., are analysed by means of a method of age determination based upon the changes occurring in the reproductive system during successive gonotrophic cycles. This method of age determination is described in detail.
