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.
