Voucher material: None.

Comment: One female of Cs. bergrothi collected in southeastern Estonia is preserved in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( Khalin & Aibulatov 2020). This species was previously noted to be present in Estonia according to Fauna Europaea ( Snow & Ramsdale 2014), but the origin of that record is unknown as no other records have been found by the authors. Culiseta bergrothi has also been reported from provinces in northwestern Russia adjacent to Estonia ( Khalin & Aibulatov 2020), Finland ( Culverwell 2018; Culverwell et al. 2021) and Sweden ( Lundström et al. 2013).
