New records of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae), with an updated checklist of the nycteribiids of Russia

Abstract

We assembled a checklist by documenting and curating previously published data as well as previously unpublished records of bat flies from the Russian Federation. A total of 20 bat fly species are listed, belonging to 4 genera. Basilia mongolensis nudior Hůrka, 1972 and Basilia nattereri (Kolenati, 1857) are recorded from Russia for the first time. The following new host associations are reported: Basilia mongolensis nudior ex Myotis nattereri (Kuhl), Basilia nattereri ex Eptesicus nilssonii (Keyserling & Blasius), Basilia rybini Hůrka, 1969 ex Myotis dasycneme (Boie) and Eptesicus nilssonii, and Nycteribia quasiocellata Theodor, 1966 ex Vespertilio murinus Linnaeus. We provide data on nine major Russian regions for which nycteribiid records were previously lacking.

Notes on Diptera Pupipara of the eastern Palaearctic region 1. The taxonomic status of species and subspecies of Hippoboscidae and Nycteribiidae described from temperate Japan and the Republic of Korea

“…According to current information, N. formosana is parasitic on Myotis mystacinus (Kuhl) from the northern region of the ROK (Kim et al, 2012) and on Myotis spp. and Miniopterus fuliginosus (Hodgson) of the Russian Far East and Kunashiri Island o eastern Hokkaido (Medvedev et al, 1991;Orlova et al, 2021). In contrast, additional records of N. uenoi are once in the ROK from Rhinolophus ferrumequinum (Schreber) of Jeju Island (Lee et al, 1998) and once in Japan from Myotis macrodactylus (Temminck) on the Tsushima Islands between the ROK and Kyushu (Mogi et al, 2002).…”

“…However, new information about the distribution and hosts of louse and bat ies in Russia and the ROK (Medvedeva et al, 1991;Kim et al, 2012;Nartshuk et al, 2019;Orlova et al, 2021) has brought questions and confusions in identifying some of louse and bat ies in the eastern Palaearctic region. We examine the classi cation of ve subspecies and two species described from Japan and the ROK.…”

Trematodes of Genera Gyrabascus and Parabascus from Bats in European Russia: Morphology and Molecular Phylogeny

“…Twenty-seven species of bats are found in European Russia and sixteen of them are known from the Volga Upland [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ]. In recent decades, studies of bats in Russia have been devoted to various aspects of ecology, distribution, taxonomy, and parasite fauna [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”
