Bloodfed Anopheles maculipennis s.l. females were collected resting in and around sheepfolds in the\ northwestern prefecture of Florina, Greece. The specimens were identified as An. maculipennis and An.\ messeae on the basis of similarity to published DNA sequence data for the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) region. Novel DNA sequences were obtained for the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I gene (COl)\ for both species. Correlations of COl and ITS2 sequences were used to identitfy specimens, with respect to ITS2\ sequences in Genbank. These results constitute new distribution records for these two species in northwestern\ Greece.

An unidentified mermithid species parasitizing Ochlerotatus cantons is presented, being the first mosquito-parasitic\ mermithid recorded from Denmark. The parasitic development is initiated in the larval host, continues in the pupa and is completed in the abdominal haemocoel of the adult, the mean body length of the parasite increasing from\ about 1mm to 12-13 mm. From 1 to 5 mermithid worms were found per adult host. Up to 87\% of male and female\ mosquitoes hatched in the laboratory or swept in the herbaceous layer surrounding woodland pools were parasitized.\ The prevalence of the parasite varied between pools.

A study of the mosquito fauna in northern Greece yielded four species not previously recorded in the country.\ These are Ochlerotatus sticticus from the Axios River, and Ochlerotatus pullatus, Ochlerotatus punctor and\ Ochlerotatus cataphylla from the Rhodope Mountains. An uncertain record of Ochlerotatus communis is\ confirmed. Details of the records together with data on the bionomics of the species are presented.

The distribution of the European tree-hole mosquito, Ochlerotatus geniculatus, in Fennoscandia is reviewed. Based on the\ examination of museum specimens from Denmark, and published and unpublished collection data from Sweden, the range\ of this species is revised and extended. Distributional data from Norway and Finland are scarce and no recent records are\ available from either country. Factors limiting the northern distribution of Oc. geniculatus in Sweden, and the possibility\ that loss of tree-hole habitats threatens the survival of this species in central Fennoscandia, are also discussed.

Larvae, pupae and adults were collected between October 12th and 29th 1999 in used-tyre storage centres. The tyre recycling company imports numerous tyres from the USA, Italy and Japan. Reproduction of the species has certainly taken place in France, and the\ environmental conditions make the establishment of the species possible.
