Abstract.During the decade from 1984 to 1993, nine species of the __Simulium damnosum__ complex of blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) were identified from the area covered by the Onchocerciasis Control Programme. These were __S. damnosum s.s__., __S. dieguerense__, __S. konkourense__, __S. leonense__, __S. sanctipauli__, __S. sirbanum__, __S. soubrense__, __S. squamosum__, and __S. yahense__. Some of these species were found to consist of two chromosomal variant populations. These were __S. konkourense__‘Konkouré' and ‘Menankaya' forms, __S. sanctipauli sensu stricto and__‘Djodji' form, __S. soubrense__‘Chute Milo' and ‘Beffa' forms. The distribution of these twelve cytological taxa was assessed in relation to the two main vegetation zones of West Africa (forest and savanna), topography, river size and other factors. The range of each species was influenced by seasonal climatic changes in wind movement and river water level. The most widely distributed species were __S__. __sirbanum__ and __S__. __damnosum s__.__s__., associated with savanna areas, recorded from all river basins. __Simulium dieguerense__ was restricted mainly to Western Mali on the Rivers Bafing and Bakoye in the Sen
