ABSTRACT CORRELATED with the viviparous type of reproduction found in the tsetse fies, the essential features of which were worked out as early as 1895 by Bruce1, there is a great reduction
in the number of ovarioles. Stuhlman2 and Roubaud3 studied the anatomy of the female reproductive organs and considered that each ovary consisted of a single ovariole, a view which has been
