Culex ( Culex ) pipiens Linnaeus, 1758 Northernmost records (Fig. 4a). 67°33 ′ 46.49 ″ N, 30°28 ′ 26.49 ″ E, MP, Kovdor Distr., Kovdor (Sharkov, 1976); 63°18 ′ 17.5 ″ N, 48°31 ′ 56.9 ″ E, Komi, Udorskiy Distr., Selegvozh (Panyukova & Ostroushko, 2017); 71°30 ′ 38.91 ″ N, 52°18 ′ 3 ″ E, AP, Novaya Zemlya, Belush’ya Bay * (Sack, 1923); 70°2 ′ 10.73 ″ N, 59°28 ′ 55.59 ″ E, NAR, Zapolyarnyy Distr., Vaygach I. * (de Meijere, 1910); 67°29 ′ 50.68 ″ N, 64°3 ′ 39.93 ″ E, Komi, Vorkuta Distr., Vorkuta (Panyukova & Ostroushko, 2017). Distribution . NWR: AP*, Komi, KP, LP, MP, NAR*, NP, PP, RK, SPb, VP. Adjacent countries: Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Belarus. Europe (ranging northward to the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands and Denmark); the Holarctic (except Polar regions); more locally in the Ethiopian, Neotropical and Australian regions. Note . The northernmost records (Fig. 4a) 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. Published as part of Khalin, A. V. & Aibulatov, S.
