Europe and the Orient, but Theobald (Gen. Ins., p. 28) sinks it as a 

 synon3^m of pipiens Iv. It seems strange that a species quite 

 common over the greater part of Europe and North America besides 

 other regions, should be absent entirely from all parts of the Oriental 

 Region. Possibly Theobald's quasipipiens may be an oriental 

 form of this species.
