(2021: 11) . Voucher material: None. Comment: Mosquitoes with morphological characteristics most similar to Ae. pullatus were found during the study, but DNA barcoding identified them as Ae. communis . These specimens had scales on the hypostigmal area of the thorax, which is unusual for Ae. communis . Aedes pullatus has been previously reported from Lithuania ( Pakalniškis et al. 2000 ), provinces in northwestern Russia adjacent to Estonia ( Khalin & Aibulatov 2020 ), Finland ( Culverwell 2018 ; Culverwell et al . 2021 ) and Sweden ( Lundström et al. 2013 ). However, the occurrence of this species in Estonia remains uncertain.
