The eggs of Mansonia uniformis, Ma. indiana, Ma. annulifera, and Ma. annulata are described with the aid of scanning electron micrographs. Comparisons of egg structure among the four species showed that the eggs differed discernibly with respect to the outer chorionic tubercles on the anterior tube, the spines surrounding the raised central micropyle within the anterior cup, and the outer chorionic tubercles in the posterior region. Attempts to produce a key for identification of these eggs under scanning electron microscopy are discussed.
借助扫描电子显微镜对同型曼蚊、印氏曼蚊、环带曼蚊和环纹曼蚊的卵进行了描述。对这四个物种的卵结构进行比较后发现，在前管上的外层绒毛结节、前杯内围绕凸起中央微孔的刺以及后部区域的外层绒毛结节方面，这些卵存在明显差异。文中还讨论了尝试制作在扫描电子显微镜下鉴定这些卵的检索表的情况。
