Spinturnix nobleti Deunff, Volleth, Keller & Aellen, 1990 View in CoL

Material. 4 ♀♀ ( Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ; Table 3) ex Hypsugo savii ( Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ), from Bazhansay River ( Kazakhstan, Karatau Mountains), 43°04′ N 69°54′ E, 27 VII 2022, leg. H. Dundarova, det. M. V. Orlova GoogleMaps .

Distribution. Kazakhstan (this study, new record). Russia (Caucasus – Orlova et al., 2021; Far East – Stanyukovich 1997), France (incl. Corsica) (Deunff et al. 1990), Mongolia (Scheffler et al. 2012), Switzerland (Deunff et al. 1990).

Principal hosts. Hypsugo alaschanicus (Scheffler et al. 2012) , H. savii ( Beron 2020; this study).

Other hosts. Unknown.

Remark. Rare, poorly studied species.

Kazakhstan is a potential region for bat ectoparasite research. Of the three spinturnicid mite species recorded during our surveys, two species, Spinturnix emarginata , and S. nobleti , are new records for the entire country. The diversity and distribution of bats and their ectoparasites in Kazakhstan are still poorly understood. Further research on bat ectoparasites across this region is necessary to establish their host associations and distributions.
