- Tsetse - n. - A venomous two-winged African fly (Glossina morsitans) whose bite is very poisonous, and even fatal, to horses and cattle, but harmless to men. It renders extensive districts in which it abounds uninhabitable during certain seasons of the year.
- Zebub - n. - A large noxious fly of Abyssinia, which like the tsetse fly, is destructive to cattle.
- Zimb - n. - A large, venomous, two-winged fly, native of Abyssinia. It is allied to the tsetse fly, and, like the latter, is destructive to cattle.
