Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor and Moscona, 1954

The species is distributed throughout the forest zone from the Atlantic coast of Europe and the UK to Trans-Urals ( Hurka, 1969; Nowosad, 1974; Rupp et al., 2004; Orlova et al., 2011; Orlova et al., 2013) within the boundaries of the areal of the main host — Daubenton’s bat M. daubentonii .

Thus, all of these ectoparasites are mono- or oligoxenous parasites of European-Ural complex bats, their findings on the Siberian-Ural complex bat species are unknown. Available data highlight in the European-Ural complex European subcomplex uniting species, their findings are unknown to the east of the North-West region of Russia ( Ischnopsyllus intermedius , I. simplex simplex , I. s. mysticus, Ischnopsyllus octactenus ). The other species of the eastern boundary of habitat lies in the Urals ( Macronyssus kolenatii , Ischnopsyllus variabilis ) and Trans-Urals ( Macronyssus diversipilis , Nycteribia kolenatii ) (Orlova, 2013).
