Abstract

Records were kept of the catches of tsetse fly by three types of traps, the Langridge box screen, the Swynnerton awning screen, and a modification of the latter incorporating a screen skirt, in the South Busoga fly-belt, Uganda, where Glossina pallidipes Aust., G. fuscipes Newst. and G. brevipalpis Newst. are abundant. Only two specimens of G. brevipalpis, but large numbers of the other two species, were caught, by far the largest catches being obtained by the awning screen-skirt trap.
