This species comes very near to Mimotnyia uni for mis (Theobald) ; 
but differs in the colour of the head scales, in the presence of a double 
row of vein scales to the costal and first longitudinal vein, and in the 
thorax with its regular series of bristles and bright blue reflections, 
and also the mottled appearance of the abdomen. 
The peculiar proboscis and palpi of the 3 are characteristic also 
of Mimomyia nniformis. 
Locality :—This mosquito was observed only at Boma; the 
specimens in the collection were hatched in the laboratory from larvae 
taken in a grass-grown puddle of clean water. 
This species is dedicated to Major Malfeyt, Ilaut Commissaire 
Royal, in recognition of constant courtesy and assistance rendered 
during the expedition.
