Description

Aedes (Ochlerotatus) punctodes Dyar, 1922

Published sources: None.

Voucher material: None.

Comment: Females of Ae. punctodes are difficult to distinguish from the females of Ae. punctor. This species has been reported from Finland (Culverwell 2021) and Sweden (Lundström et al. 2013), and could also be present in Estonia, but this requires further research.
