The occurrence of E. e. euryaliswas recorded in Slovakiaand Italy( Uchikawa and Dusbábek 1978), Spain( Peribañez-Lopez et al. 1989), Armeniaand Azerbaijan ( Stanyukovich 1997). On two species of genus Rhinolophuswe collected seven mites in total (prevalence 50%, mean intensity 2.3, relative density 1.2), representing the subspecies E. e. euryalis, while the subspecies E. e. oudemansiwas not recorded.
