Comment: 211 mosquitoes (0.9% of all specimens collected) were identified as Ae. leucomelas . This species seems to be uncommon in Estonia , much less common than the closely related Ae. cataphylla . Mosquitoes identified as Ae. leucomelas were most numerous in May, but some individuals were found until October during this study.
