discussion
Note. The northernmost records (Fig. 4 a) of Culex pipiens are 70 ° 2 ′ 10.73 ″ N, 59 ° 28 ′ 55.59 ″ E, Vaygach Island (de Meijere, 1910), and 71 ° 30 ′ 38.91 ″ N, 52 ° 18 ′ 3 ″ E, Novaya Zemlya (Sack, 1923). However, in Fennoscandia this species is recorded only in the southern half of Sweden and Norway, in southern and central Finland. The northernmost records of Cx. pipiens from these countries are as follows: Norway: 62 ° 33 ′ 8.85 ″ N, 7 ° 40 ′ 16.77 ″ E, Grytten (Natvig, 1948); Sweden: 65 ° 49 ′ 40.8 ″ N, 24 ° 04 ′ 22.8 ″ E, Haparanda (Hesson et al, 2014); 67 ° 3 ′ 43.73 ″ N, 20 ° 2 ′ 0.11 ″ E, Norrbotten (Lundström et al., 2013); Finland: 65 ° 44 ′ 10.0 ″ N, 24 ° 33 ′ 50.0 ″ E, Kemi (Hesson et al., 2014). We consider that the correct northernmost records of Cx. pipiens are those from the Murmansk Province and the Komi Republic.
