It has also been described to occur over large parts of Germany, but reports are scarce and date back several decades. The last time Ae. refiki was documented for Germany was in 1980 when the species was found in the central northern part of the country. During larval sampling activities, Ae. refiki was rediscovered at two locations in the German federal state of Thuringia in spring 2016. The collection sites, method of species identification and species characteristics are described and discussed.

Anopheles algeriensis, a mosquito species primarily found in the Mediterranean region and susceptible to Plasmodium spp., is one of seven Anopheles species previously reported from Germany. However, the last record dates back to 1958. Whether it was really absent since then or whether this is just a sign of neglected mosquito studies over several decades is unclear. The present study is part of a nationwide mosquito mapping project launched in 2011. We describe larval dip collections of An. algeriensis in 2013 from the inland salt meadow “Brenner Moor”, located in Schleswig-Holstein, northern Germany, which represents the most northerly of all German An. algeriensis collection sites known so far. Despite several mosquito mapping projects carried out in Germany over recent years, An. algeriensis has not been detected within the last 55 years. Therefore this species appears to be extremely rare or at least rurally localised. Hence, it remains a very low risk vector in terms of autochthonous malaria transmission in Germany.
