Abstract
Data on new findings of ectoparasites (mites and insects) of bats (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in the Western Sayan and Tuva are presented. The bat fly Basilia mongolensis mongolensis Theodor, 1966 is reported for the first time from the territory of Russia. The gamasid mite Spinturnix bregetovae Stanyukovich, 1995 is new to the region. New hosts are described for some ectoparasites.
