Abstract
Bats (Chiroptera) do not possess any specific louse species however, rare accidental registrations of this ectoparasites on chiropterans occur. Herein we report for the first time, identification of the lice Quadraceps cf. junceus (Ischnocera: Philopteridae) from vesper bat Pipistrellus nathusii (Keyserling & Blasius, 1839) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) in Belarus. In addition, we provide and discuss previous findings about lice collected from bats.
