Abstract

Keys and illustrations are given that enable all stages to be identified of Aedes nigripes and A. impiger, normally the only two species of mosquito found in the high arctic. First-instar larvae and pupae of both species are described for the first time. Keys and descriptions are based on material from northern Ellesmere Island.
