Comment: 4,594 mosquitoes (18.9% of all specimens collected) were grouped as Ae. punctor / punctodes Dyar, 1922, although males were identified as Ae. punctor. Aedes punctor is known to be more common than Ae. punctodes (Culverwell et al., 2021), but further DNA analysis or larval collections are required to make definitive conclusions about the presence of Ae. punctodes in Estonia. The two females of Ae. punctor / punctodes chosen as voucher specimens were identified as Ae. punctor by DNA barcoding. These mosquitoes were especially numerous in May during this study, but some individuals were found until October.
