Glossina severini Newstead, 1913 | |
Glossina severini is one of the 23 recognized species of tsetse flies (genus Glossina), and it belongs to the forest/fusca group (subgenus Austenina).
Glossina severini was historically reported from small areas around the mountains of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, near the borders with Uganda and Rwanda. [1] [2] However, a review of the scientific literature from 1990 – 2020 found that no entomological survey was carried out in those areas, and so there is no recent published information on the geographic distribution of the species.
