Comment:
Ae
des
euedes
is a member of the
Ae.
annulipes
group. It reported from
Lithuania
(
Pakalniškis
et al.
2000
),
Latvia
(
Spungis 2000
), provinces in northwestern
Russia
adjacent to
Estonia
(
Khalin & Aibulatov 2020
),
Finland
(
Culverwell 2018
;
Culverwell
et al
. 2021
) and
Sweden
(
Lundström
et al.
2013
). While no specimens have been reported from
Estonia
thus far, the species is likely to be present but overlooked, especially as this species appears to be much less common in the Nordic-Baltic region than
Ae
.
annulipes
and
Ae
.
cantans
, which also belong to the
Ae.
annulipes
group (
Khalin & Aibulatov 2020
