Descriptions of the eggs of Mansonia uniformis, Ma. indiana and Ma. annulifera are provided with the aid of scanning electron micrographs. Eggs of these three species, although similar in shape and colour, are covered by outer chorionic reticulum and tubercles which provide reliable morphological character for their identification. Size, distribution and number of lobes on the large tubercles present in the region between the anterior tube and posterior region, are important distinguishing features. Measurements of egg sizes and other chorionic differences are also discussed.
借助扫描电子显微镜照片对同型曼蚊、印氏曼蚊和环带曼蚊的卵进行了描述。这三种曼蚊的卵虽然在形状和颜色上相似，但都覆盖有外层绒毛膜网和瘤，这些为其鉴定提供了可靠的形态特征。在前管和后部区域之间的区域中存在的大瘤上的叶的大小、分布和数量是重要的鉴别特征。还讨论了卵大小的测量以及其他绒毛膜差异。
