Abstract
During the course of certain investigations, the writer had occasion to collect a considerable number of mosquitoes in Nigeria, particularly in the vicinity of Lagos. Several species of Uranotaenia were represented in many of the collections. In view of the difficulties experienced in identifying certain specimens, opportunity was taken during a recent visit to the British Museum (Natural History) to study the African Uranotaenia in the collections there. Subsequent to the publication by Edwards in 1912 of the last generic treatment and key for the separation of the species, several additional species have been added to the list from the Ethiopian region, and more materials have accumulated, thus facilitating further study and permitting a reconsideration of certain specific assignments.
