The zimb, also known as tsaltsalya (Ethiopian) or seriut (Arabic), is any horse-fly of the genus Pangonia found in Ethiopia. The genus is more widespread and contains many species, but only those from this region are given the name "zimb". They are similar in feeding habits to the tsetse fly but completely unrelated. It is large, and destructive to livestock; though its bite is painful, it is not venomous, contrary to many sources of misinformation on the internet.
