Ischnopsyllus (I.) obscurus (Wagner, 1898)

Trans-species. Dwells between 450 and 600 N ( Hopkins, Rothschild, 1956; Medvedev, Masing, 1987; Medvedev, 1989; Brinck-Lindroth, Smit, 2007; Orlova, 2013). According to S. G. Medvedev (1989), the main host I. obscurus appears particolored bat — transpalaearctic species, that explain for the wide dissemination of this flea species. Some European data also indicate V. murinus as a main host I. obscurus ( Rupp et al., 2004) .
