038657640D3ACB032D93FD3DFADCFBB3.taxon	discussion	Comment: 1,436 mosquitoes (5.9 % of all specimens collected) were identified as Ae. cinereus. This species is abundant in Estonia and can be found almost everywhere from June to September. Also, Ae. cinereus can be numerous at times, especially towards the end of the summer, based on the data of the present study. It should be noted that adult females are difficult to differentiate from the closely related Ae. geminus based on morphology alone; thus, specimens of Ae. geminus could also be among the specimens of Ae. cinereus collected during the study.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

This species was infrequently collected, but specimens could be found throughout the warm season, with a peak of activity in August. However, Ae. vexans has been found to emerge in large numbers after floods (Schäfer & Lundström 2009), so their low numbers in this study could be due to sampling bias.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D3ACB022D93F911FA74FE3B.taxon	discussion	Comment: Aedes annulipes belongs to the Ae. annulipes group, along with Ae. cantans (Meigen, 1818), Ae. cyprius Ludlow, 1920, Ae. euedes Howard, Dyar & Knab, 1913, Ae. excrucians (Walker, 1956), Ae. flavescens (Müller, 1764), Ae. riparius Dyar & Knab, 1907, etc. (Becker et al. 2020). Aedes annulipes can be morphologically distinguished from others species of the group, but this can be difficult when it comes to adult females. This is because of the variability in their morphological traits as well as inconclusive DNA evidence, making species identification time and resource extensive. For the purposes of this study, mosquitoes with morphology similar to Ae. annulipes were designated as specimens of the Ae. annulipes group. In total, 2,091 individuals (8.6 % of all specimens collected) were identified as simply belonging to the group. These mosquitoes were active from May to October, but were most numerous in June. Two specimens, which corresponded well to both the morphological description of Ae. annulipes and the partial COI sequences found in online databases, were chosen as the local voucher specimens.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

Aedes caspius is a halophilic species mainly found in Estonia near the brackish water of the Baltic Sea. These mosquitoes are common and at times numerous near the coastline, but are rarely found further inland. Thus, their relatively low numbers collected in this study is due to collection bias. Aedes caspius appears to be active throughout summer.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

Aedes communis can be found everywhere in the country. It is especially numerous during May and June, but individuals can be found until October. Importantly, there appears to be two distinct mitochondrial lineages in the area, which can make DNA barcoding difficult, as some COI sequences appear to be very similar to the North American Ae. tahoensis (Dyar, 1916) (Kirik et al. 2020).	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

However, the specimens have not been preserved and cannot be verified. No specimens were found during the present study. Aedes dorsalis has been reported from Lithuania (Pakalniškis et al. 2000), Latvia (Spungis 2000), provinces adjacent to Estonia in northwestern Russia (Khalin & Aibulatov 2020), Finland (Culverwell 2018; Culverwell et al. 2021) and Sweden (Lundström et al. 2013). Therefore, this species is likely to be present in Estonia as well. The absence of specimens in collections made during this study could be due to insufficient trapping, as well as collection bias, as Ae. dorsalis is halophilic and has been known to be associated with floods (Becker et al. 2020).	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

This species appears to be uncommon in the country based on the current collections. However, the abundance of Ae. sticticus has been found to depend on floods, and they can be numerous at certain times (Schäfer & Lundström 2009). Their relatively low numbers in this study could be due to collection bias. Interestingly, Ae. sticticus was encountered more often in August, which is unusual compared to most Aedes species in the area. Overall, some Ae. sticticus can be found in Estonia throughout the summer, from June to September.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D34CB0D2D93FF25FF3AFD6E.taxon	discussion	Comment: Anopheles maculipennis is the nominotypical species of the An. maculipennis complex. Three mosquitoes were identified as An. maculipennis s. s among of 20 specimens of the An. maculipennis complex that were subjected to DNA barcoding. These results indicate that An. maculipennis is likely to be quite uncommon in the country, as only 215 mosquitoes (0.9 % of all collected specimens collected) were identified as belonging to the An. maculipennis complex, and presumably An. maculipennis makes up a small portion of these individuals. The true abundance of the An. maculipennis complex is likely to have been underestimated in this study due to collection bias.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D34CB0D2D93FD65FD39FADA.taxon	discussion	Comment: Anopheles messeae belongs to the An. maculipennis complex. Based on COI sequences, 17 mosquitoes among 20 specimens of the complex subjected to genetic analyses were identified as An. messeae or An. daciae Linton, Nicolescu & Harbach, 2004 (in Nicolescu et al. 2004). This indicates that An. messeae / daciae most likely make up the majority of the 215 (0.9 % of all specimens collected) specimens of the complex collected in this study. Anopheles messeae and An. daciae are difficult to distinguish based on COI sequences at this time, but the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS 2) region of one Estonian An. messeae specimen was sequenced in a previous study (Kirik et al. 2020). All in all, individuals belonging to the An. maculipennis complex could be found from May to October, but were more numerous in August. The abundance of mosquitoes of the complex may be underestimated in this study due to collection bias.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D35CB0C2D93FE4DFEA5FB2F.taxon	discussion	Comment: Adults of Cx. pipiens are difficult to distinguish from Cx. torrentium by morphological characteristics alone. However, when 12 Cx. pipiens / torrentium females were subjected to DNA barcoding, five (41.7 %) were identified as Cx. pipiens. In 2013, 64 (48.5 %) male mosquitoes were identified as Cx. pipiens compared to 68 (51.5 %) determined to be Cx. torrentium. In 2017. however, 84 (60.9 %) males were identified as Cx. pipiens and only 54 (39.1 %) were identified as Cx. torrentium. Based on this information, Cx. pipiens and Cx. torrentium could be present in relatively similar numbers in Estonia. It is possible that the true relative abundance of Cx. pipiens is underestimated in this study due to collection bias. Mosquitoes identified as Cx. pipiens / torrentium were most numerous in September. Also, Cx. pipiens specimens in Estonia were found to be infected with the intercellular symbiont Wolbachia pipientis, which agrees with the published literature (Bergman & Hesson 2021; Inácio da Silva et al. 2021). No attempts were made to identify the “ molestus ” biotype of Cx. pipiens among the specimens collected during the study.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D35CB0C2D93FAA5FE1DF837.taxon	discussion	Comment: The adult females of Cx. torrentium are difficult to distinguish from Cx. pipiens based on only morphological characteristics. Of 12 females subjected to DNA barcoding, seven (58.3 %) were identified as Cx. torrentium. Adult males of the two species can be distinguished based on structures of their genitalia. In 2013, 68 (51.5 %) among 132 males were identified as Cx. torrentium. In 2017, only 54 (39.1 %) males were determined to be Cx. torrentium compared to 84 (60.9 %) of individuals identified as Cx. pipiens. All things considered, it is reasonable to assume that Cx. torrentium makes up about half of the 1,236 (5.1 % of all collected mosquitoes collected) identified as Cx. pipiens / torrentium during in this study. However, the true relative abundance of these mosquitoes may have been underestimated in this study due to collection bias. Culex torrentium and Cx. pipiens are most active at the end of summer, when they become dominant. Seven Cx. torrentium caught in Estonia were analyzed for Wolbachia pipientis using the wsp gene for detection. The results were negative, which is in line with the findings of Bergman & Hesson (2021).	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.

038657640D2CCB142D93F924FDF4FD8B.taxon	discussion	Comment: Aedes rusticus has been recognized as a species in Estonia in several mosquito checklist (Khalin & Aibulatov 2020; Snow & Ramsdale 1999; Robert et al. 2019). However, as was pointed out by Huldén & Huldén (2014) Ae. rusticus has been referred to historically by the synonym Ae. maculatus, but that name has also been mistakenly applied to Ae. cantans. In fact, the first checklist of mosquitoes in Estonia by H. Remm also included Ae. maculatus, but the number of specimens collected, as well as the description of their bionomics indicates that the species is Ae. cantans, not Ae. rusticus. This misunderstanding may be the reason why Ae. rusticus has been reported to be present in Estonia, although no verified specimens have been collected in the country. However, Ae. rusticus has also been thought to be present in Lithuania (Pakalniškis et al. 2000) and Latvia (Spungis 2000), and has been reported from Sweden (Lundström et al. 2013). Therefore, this species could also be present in Estonia. Genus Anopheles Meigen, 1818 Anopheles daciae Linton, Nicolescu & Harbach, 2004 (in Nicolescu et al. 2004) Published sources: None. Voucher material: None. Comment: It can be difficult to distinguish An. daciae from An. messeae based on morphology. Nucleotide polymorphisms in ITS 2 sequences are currently the best way to distinguish these two species, but this was not done in this study. Anopheles daciae has been reported from Finland (Culverwell et al. 2020; Culverwell et al. 2021), and could also be present in Estonia.	en	Kirik, Heli, Tummeleht, Lea, Kurina, Olavi (2022): Rediscovering the mosquito fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) of Estonia: an annotated checklist with distribution maps and DNA evidence.
