Simple Summary: In this work, we report a new distribution for the Western Rock Pool mosquito, Aedes epactius, in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico. Additionally, we document its occurrence at 2300 m above sea level in the state of Chihuahua and at nearly 2600 m above sea level in Zacatecas. These records highlight the remarkable dispersal plasticity of the Western Rock Pool mosquito in the Americas, demonstrating its ability to adapt to a wide range of altitudes, from coastal areas with warm temperatures to high-altitude regions with considerably lower average temperatures. Adults and immatures of Aedes epactius were collected in July and December 2022 at sites of high elevation in the states of Chihuahua (2300 masl) and Zacatecas (2182 and 2595 masl), Mexico, respectively. Mosquitoes were identified morphologically and sequenced for a DNA barcode of the cytochrome c oxidase I (COX1). This is the first distributional record of Ae. epactius in Zacatecas and provides evidence of the highest altitude in the Americas, including Mexico. The geographical distribution of Ae. epactius in Mexico was reviewed, and the COX1 analysis, using phylogenetic Bayesian analysis to confirm species identification, was performed.
