The paper presents data on collecting of 34 gamasid mite species (Gamasina) associated with small terrestrial vertebrates in the territory of Kaluga Province; these species belong to 19 genera and 9 families of Gamasina. Hematophagous species are represented by 20 species. Mites Laelaps clethrionomydis and L. agilis constituted 52% of all the collected mites.
Eighteen flea species of four genera associated with bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae, Rhinolophidae, Miniopteridae, Molossidae) are registered in Russia, based on a literature review as well as our own data. They are as follows: Myodopsylla trisellis, Ischnopsyllus (Ischnopsyllus) dolosus, Ischnopsyllus (I.) elongatus, Ischnopsyllus (I.) intermedius, Ischnopsyllus (I.) plumatus, Ischnopsyllus (I.) needhami, Ischnopsyllus (I.) obscurus, Ischnopsyllus (I.) octactenus, Ischnopsyllus (I.) simplex, Ischnopsyllus (I.) variabilis, Ischnopsyllus (Hexactenopsylla) hexactenus, Ischnopsyllus (H.) petropolitanus, Ischnopsyllus (H.) ussuriensis, Ischnopsyllus (H.) comans, Nycteridopsylla pentactena, Nycteridopsylla longiceps, Nycteridopsylla eusarca, Rhinolophopsylla unipectinata unipectinata. Ischnopsyllus (I.) elongatus and Ischnopsyllus (I.) octactenus were recorded in Kaluga Region and Vladimir Region for the first time. Ischnopsyllus (I.) variabilis in Kaluga Region is a newly documented find. Studied bat flea fauna exhibits a distinctly Western Palearctic appearance.
