Abstract

There are six species of the genus Argas reported from the Western Palaearctic. The two species commonly reported on bats are A. transgariepinus White, 1846 and A. vespertilionis (Latreille, 1796). Argas transgariepinus has been reported to be commonly associated with bats in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Israel, Afghanistan, and Madagascar. Its wide distribution is probably associated with migrating bats that transport feeding larvae. A morphological description and illustrations of adults and immature stages are available. A. vespertilionis Latreille, 1796 parasitizes cave-dwelling insectivorous bats.
