11个种的唇甲立体电子显微照片。Glossina的研究表明，最普遍的唇形类型出现在Palis，这是一个以各种动物为食的物种。青海和莫西坦种群的物种进化出了以牛和其他哺乳动物为食的适应。短瓣革盖是一种广泛型的唇形结构，适应于以河马和猪类为食，而长边形目的唇形结构则专门用于捕食大象和犀牛。Glossina内的唇瓣结构范围与传统的将该属划分为G.fusca、G.palis和G.morsitans种组的范围不一致。
Stereo-electron micrographs of the labellar armature of 11 spp. of Glossina indicate that the most generalized type of labellum occurs in G. palpalis, a species which feeds on a wide range of animals. The species of the G. fusca and G. morsitans groups evolved adaptations to feeding on bovids and other mammals. G. brevipalpis has a generalized type of labellum with adaptations to feeding on hippopotamus and suids and the labellum of G. longipennis is specialized for feeding on elephant and rhinoceros. The range of labellar structure within Glossina is not consistent with the traditional classification of the genus into G. fusca, G. palpalis and G. morsitans species-groups.
