Aedes (Ochlerotatus) detritus Haliday, 1833 View in CoL ( Fig. 23 View FIGURE 23 )

Type locality. Holywood , Downshire, England.

Distribution. This species is found in the Palaearctic Region ( Azari-Hamidian et al. 2019). In the Middle East and North Africa, it has been recorded in Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia and Turkey ( Margalit & Tahori 1974; Harbach et al. 1989; Minář 1991; Alten et al. 2000; Brunhes et al. 2000; Al Ahmad et al. 2011; Khater et al. 2013; Tabbabi et al. 2017; Aqeehal et al. 2019; Azari-Hamadian et al. 2019; Ben Ayed et al. 2019; Wilkerson et al. 2021). It was first recorded in Saudi Arabia by Al Ahmad et al. (2011).

Remarks. The Ae. detritus complex includes two species: Ae. detritus and Ae. coluzzii Rioux, Guilvard & Pasteur ( Rioux et al. 1998) . Aedes coluzzii is recorded in France, Morocco and Portugal ( Wilkerson et al. 2021).

Medical importance. Aedes detritus is not considered to be a major vector of human disease agents ( Ribeiro et al. 1988). It may transmit the agent of canine dirofilariasis ( Ferreira et al. 2015).
