Abstract: The material for this work was based on our collection of nycteribiid flies that we obtained during bat banding in the Vladimir region in 2016–2023. A total of 1308 bats belonging to 11 species were examined. In the process of banding bats, three species of blood-sucking flies from the family Nycteribiidae parasitizing bats were discovered: Basilia nattereri Kolenati, 1857, Penicillidia monoceros Speiser, 1900, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor et Moscona, 1954. The most widespread and frequently encountered species of nycteribiidae is Nycteribia kolenatii.
