Abstract
Estimates have been made of the phospholipid, the water, and the cytochrome- c content of the dorsal longitudinal flight muscles of the tsetse fly, and of the total non-fatty dry weight of the thorax, at different stages of adult development. The results have served as a basis for the partitioning of the dry weight of flight muscle into its three main components—contractile protein, mitochondrial protein, and phospholipid. Development is shown to involve a twofold increase in the amount of contractile protein, and a threefold increase in the amount of mitochondrial protein. These changes are discussed in relation to associated changes in wingbeat frequency.
