Abstract

An annotated list of 46 mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) is presented, the first of its kind for the Northwestern region of Russia. It is based on identification of species in the authors’ own collections (9939 specimens), revision of collections of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2755 specimens), and analysis of the literature data. As a result, 1 species was found to be new to the fauna of Northwest Russia as a whole, 7 species, to individual regions (the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Kaliningrad, and Pskov provinces), and 1 species, to the adjacent territories (Estonia).

Notes

  1. The Northwestern Region of Russia in our interpretation unites Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, Leningrad, Vologda, Kaliningrad, Pskov, and Novgorod provinces, the Karelia and Komi republics, and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug. These territories are included in the Northwestern Federal District of Russia.

  2. We follow the classification of Edwards (1932) and Wilkerson and co-authors (2015), according to which the taxon Ochlerotatus Lynch Arribalzaga, 1891 is treated as a subgenus within the genus Aedes Meigen, 1818. Different views on the composition of the genus Aedes (e.g., Reinert, 2000a, 2000b; Reinert et al., 2004, 2006, 2008) were considered in our earlier publications (Khalin, 2005, 2011, 2012; Khalin and Gornostaeva, 2008). The authors and years of the original descriptions are given in the annotated list below.

  3. The territories of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

  4. The ranges of species widely distributed beyond the Palaearctic are not described here in detail.
