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.
