A first study has been performed to determine the age of Glossina tachinoides Westwood, 1850 by analyzing the various levels of grey in the wing. Among the laboratory female tsetse flies studied, five groups stood out as significantly different. This method could constitute a new approach of this important factor in the study of animal trypanosomosis epidemiology, provided it is confirmed with non-laboratory tsetse flies.
