Comment: 4,594 mosquitoes (18.9% of all specimens collected) were grouped as Ae. punctor / punctodes Dyar, 1922 , although males were identified as Ae. punctor . Aedes punctor is known to be more common than Ae. punctodes ( Culverwell et al., 2021) , but further DNA analysis or larval collections are required to make definitive conclusions about the presence of Ae. punctodes in Estonia. The two females of Ae. punctor / punctodes chosen as voucher specimens were identified as Ae. punctor by DNA barcoding. These mosquitoes were especially numerous in May during this study, but some individuals were found until October.
