It is not easy to see why Theobald did not include this species in Htorleptiomyia, 
as the heart-shaped scales are even more pronounced than in M, mediolineata, The 
unique type is now very badly damaged, but is clearly distinct from the other 
two species here associated with it. 
Sudan. 
3. M. uniformis, Theo. (Panoplites), Mon, Cul. IT, p. 180 (1901) (fig. 2). 
The following are included here :— 
Mansonia africana, Theo., Mon, Cul. IT, p. 187 (1901). 
¥ major, Theo., Mon. Cul. III, p. 270 (1903). 
ts nigerrima, Theo., Mon. Cul. V, p. 450 (1910). 
In the form africana the two greyish stripes which are present on the thorax of 
M. uniformis (typical form) are more or less broken up into spots. The names 
major and nigerrima have been applied to forms in which the reddish-brown

colour of the thorax is replaced by blackish, and the pale bands of the legs are 
narrower than usual. These forms, however, grade into one another, and it seems 
best to regard them as only varieties of MW. uniformis. 
Common throughout the Ethiopian, Oriental, and Australian regions.
