Hello, A Culicidae found in North of France, at Zuydcoote, the 06 June 2021, in early morning, in a densely vegetated area, on slighlty sandy soil Maybe also an Ochlerotatus near annulipes ? |

I'd agree - Oc. annulipes group. I find separating annulipes and cantans very tricky.

Thanks you very much, Tony !  I wonder what are the key caracteritics for separating these two species (if there are any) |

The usual characters are the colour of the pale scales (yellowish or whitish) and the length of the pale band on the hind metatarsus (1/3 or 1/2 - I regularly measure 5/12!). Other characters are difficult to see in photos, and with specimens, they need to be in good condition. The males are more easily separated using genitalia characters. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

The scutal pattern looks good for Aedes excrucians. To positively ID that species you need a closeup of the claws though...
