Description

16. Aedes (Ochlerotatus) nigrinus (Eckstein, 1918)

(Fig. 3G)

Published sources: Remm (1957: 155), Burtin (2014: 48).

Voucher material: None.

Comment: Three males and 23 females of Ae. nigrinus were previously reported from Estonia (Remm 1957), but the specimens have not been preserved. No specimens were collected during this study. However, Ae. nigrinus has also been recorded in Lithuania (Pakalniškis et al. 2000), provinces in northwestern Russia adjacent to Estonia (Khalin & Aibulatov 2020), Finland (Harbach et al. 2017; Culverwell et al., 2021) and Sweden (Lundström et al. 2013). Therefore, this species is likely to be present in Estonia as well.
