A new species of mosquitoes. A. gutzevichi, is described. According to its structural peculiarities the species belongs to A. caspius group. According to the taxonomic characters (Gutzevich, Monchadsky, Stakelberg, 1970) larvae and females of the mosquito are close to A. mariae but differ from the latter in many morphological and ecological features. By the structure of hypopigium males belong to the group of the species A. mariae and A. pulchritarsis but differ from the former in smaller basal warts and approximated lobes of IXth tergite and from the latter in the square shape of phallosome, approximated lobes and in the absence of the thorn on the basal wart. Larvae of A. gutzevichi differ from all palaearctic species of Aedes in the size of siphon, its pubescence and pigmentation of hind valve of the stigmal plate.
