Extract

The general distribution of the Muscidae (other than Glossina) of medical interest in the Sudan is discussed, and brief notes are given on some Muscids in relation to trypanosmiasis.

Eighty-six species of some medical interest, belonging to 22 genera, are listed, with records of their distribution and notes on the habits of several of them.
