We report the discovery of (Eckstein, 1918) in the New Forest of southern England, bringing to 36 the number of mosquito species recorded in Britain. Because it seems that this species has been misidentified previously in Britain as the morphologically similar (Meigen, 1838), the two species are contrasted and distinguished based on distinctive differences exhibited in the adult and larval stages. The pupa of is unknown, but the pupa of is distinguished from the pupae of other species of by modification of the most recent key to British mosquitoes. The history of the mosquito fauna recorded in the UK is summarized and bionomical information is provided for the two species.
我们报告了在英格兰南部新森林发现（埃克斯坦，1918年）的情况，这使得英国记录的蚊子种类增加到36种。由于该物种此前在英国似乎被误鉴定为形态相似的（梅根，1838年），因此根据成虫和幼虫阶段表现出的明显差异对这两个物种进行了对比和区分。（该物种）的蛹尚不清楚，但根据英国蚊子最新的分类检索表，（另一物种）的蛹与其他物种的蛹有所不同。总结了英国记录的蚊子动物区系的历史，并提供了这两个物种的生物学信息。
