A review of taxonomic, ecological, and zoogeographical investigations of the medically important species Ochlerotatus caspius and O. dorsalis is given. Various opinions on the taxonomy of species belonging to the genus Ochlerotatus based on the morphological and gene-enzyme analyses are presented. Genetic variability and the biology of these species and their medical importance are presented in detail. Distribution analysis has shown that the species O. caspius and O. dorsalis are sympatric and synchronic in parts of the Palaearctic region from Western Europe to Mongolia.
