24. Anopheles (Anopheles) plumbeus Stephens, 1828

( Fig. 4F )

Published source: Remm (1957: 150).

Voucher material: None.

Comment: There are historical records of four An. plumbeus females collected from Estonia ( Remm 1957). No specimens were identified during this study, but this may be because of collection bias. Anopheles plumbeus has also been reported from Lithuania ( Pakalniškis et al. 2000) and Sweden ( Lundström et al. 2013), but not from other countries neighboring Estonia.
