[New mosquito species, Aedes (Ochlerotatus) sergievi sp. n].
The description of female, male genitalia and the fourth instar larva of a new species of mosquito, A. (O.) sergievi, from the Tuva ASSR (South Siberia) is given as well as data on its breeding places. It belongs to spring and early summer species and breeds both in fresh and salt waters. Anal gills in the larvae breeding in fresh waters are significantly (P greater than 0.001) longer than those from salt waters (mean ratio between the upper anal gill length and saddle length is 2/3 and 1/2, respectively). A. sergievi is apparently related to East Asia steppe zone (Mongolian - Chinese formations) : besides Tuva, it is found in East Kazakhstan and may occur in Zabaikalye, Mongolia and North China.
