Glossina tabaniformis is one of the 23 recognized species of tsetse flies (genus Glossina), and it belongs to the forest/fusca group (subgenus Austenina).
Distribution
[edit]Glossina tabaniformis was historically reported from Central Africa, but with pockets extending also to West Africa as far as Liberia or Guinea.[1][2] A review of the scientific literature from 1990 – 2020 only found confirmation of G. tabaniformis for five countries;[3] Cameroon, the Central African Republic,[4] the Democratic Republic of the Congo,[5] Equatorial Guinea and Gabon.[6][7] In addition to these five countries, prior records indicated that the species was also present in Angola, the Congo and Nigeria,[1][8] and that it was or could still be present also in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Guinea.[3][8]
