Aedes (Ochlerotatus) riparius Dyar & Knab, 1907 ( Fig. 4B ) Published source: Remm (1957: 153) . Voucher material: None. Comment: Aedes riparius belongs to the Ae. annulipes group and can be difficult to identify. A specimen corresponding to morphologically to Ae. riparius was found during this study, but DNA barcoding identified it as Ae. annulipes / cantans . One male, four females and one larva of Ae. riparius have previously been reported from Estonia ( Remm 1957 ), but these individuals have not been preserved and their identification cannot be verified. Aedes riparius has been found in 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 ); consequently, Ae. riparius is likely present in Estonia as well.
