Aedes (Ochlerotatus) detritus Haliday, 1833 *

Northernmost record ( Fig. 2f ). 59°16 ′ 34.7 ″ N 32°05 ′ 19.0 ″ E, NP, Chudovo Distr. , Oskuy * ( Panyukova & Medvedev, 2007) .

Distribution. NWR: NP*. Adjacent countries: Norway, Sweden and Belarus. Europe (ranging northward to the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark). Kazakhstan, West and Central Asia, North Africa.

Note. Aedes detritus has been recorded within NWR only in the Novgorod Province (14 localities: Fedorova, 1977; Panyukova & Medvedev, 2007). In the case of partial loss of thoracic and abdominal scales, the females of Ae. detritus can be mistakenly identified as some other Aedes species, for example as Ae. communis . The main range of Ae. detritus is located far westward and southward from the Novgorod Province, and no males of this species have been found in this province. Therefore, we have no arguments indicating reliable records of Ae. detritus in the Novgorod Province.
