Comment: 211 mosquitoes (0.9% of all specimens collected) were identified as Ae. leucomelas. This species seems to be uncommon in Estonia, much less common than the closely related Ae. cataphylla. Mosquitoes identified as Ae. leucomelas were most numerous in May, but some individuals were found until October during this study.
