The two subspecies of Glossina palpalis (Robineau-Desvoidy) occurring in Liberia could be reliably separated morphometrically by measuring the width of the terminal dilatations of the male inferior claspers. Subspecies differentiation of female flies was less conclusive. Identification of flies from fifty-four sites revealed that most of Liberia lies in the belt of Glossina palpalis palpalis. However, pure and substantial populations of G.p.gambiensis Vanderplank occur north of 8 degrees 20'N in the north-west of Liberia.
在利比里亚出现的两种冈比亚采采蝇(Glossina palpalis,罗宾诺-德沃伊)亚种,可以通过测量雄性下抱握器末端膨大的宽度,从形态测量学上可靠地加以区分。雌蝇的亚种分化则较难确定。对来自54个地点的采采蝇进行鉴定后发现,利比里亚的大部分地区位于冈比亚采采蝇指名亚种(Glossina palpalis palpalis)的分布带内。然而,在利比里亚西北部北纬8度20分以北地区,存在纯种且数量可观的冈比亚采采蝇冈比亚亚种(G.p.gambiensis Vanderplank)群体。
