Consequently I propose to include this species and several similar ones in Manotonia and to reduce Manotonia to a subgenus of Nilotonia. The species in- cluded in the subgenus Manotonia in this study are: (1) TV. {Manotonia) gracilipalpis Void., 1942; v^frica (Ethiopia) (2) N. {Manotonia) musicola (Walter, 1935); Africa (Ivory Coast) (3) N. {Manotonia) shivai sp. nov.; Asia (India, Hi- malayas) (4) N. {Manotonia) petri Cook, 1979; Africa (Ghana) (5) N. {Manotonia) scutata Cook, 1966; Africa (Ca- meroon) (6) N. {Manotonia) tegulata ^itis, 1951); Africa (Al- geria), Eu (Italy) FIG. 92.
