Comment: Ae des euedes is a member of the Ae. annulipes group. It reported from Lithuania ( Pakalniškis et al. 2000), Latvia ( Spungis 2000), provinces in northwestern Russia adjacent to Estonia ( Khalin & Aibulatov 2020), Finland ( Culverwell 2018; Culverwell et al. 2021) and Sweden ( Lundström et al. 2013). While no specimens have been reported from Estonia thus far, the species is likely to be present but overlooked, especially as this species appears to be much less common in the Nordic-Baltic region than Ae. annulipes and Ae. cantans , which also belong to the Ae. annulipes group ( Khalin & Aibulatov 2020; Lundström et al. 2013).
