Comment: Aedes cantans belongs to the Ae. annulipes group. The species of this group can be distinguished based on morphological characteristics, but due to the variability of some traits, as well as inconclusive results of DNA barcoding, mosquitoes similar to Ae. cantans were designated as specimens of the Ae. annulipes group. In all, 2,091 mosquitoes (8.6% of all specimens collected) were as belonging to the Ae. annulipes group. These individuals were found throughout the warm months, but were most numerous in June. Voucher material was chosen from among specimens that best corresponded to the morphological traits of Ae. cantans and matched well with reliable DNA sequences in online databases.
