Ischnopsyllus variabilis (Wagner, 1898)

Found in the forest area of Europe on migratory bats: species of the genus Pipistrellus , as well as noctule bat ( Haitlinger, Ruprecht, 1992; Rupp et al., 2004). In Russia, findings were made in the Leningrad, Pskov, and Penza Regions ( Medvedev, 1989), the Kirov Region and Udmurtia ( Orlova et al., 2011), the Chelyabinsk Region (Orlova, 2013). Border distribution broadly coincides with the area of the main host — Nathusius’ pipistrelle.
