Paleoarctic, mountainous provinces in the east of Central Asia and along the periphery of Central Asia: Tien Shan, Pamir, Xinjiang, Tibet, Himalayas. They are found in meadow-steppe and subalpine zones on rocks at altitudes of 1300–3800 m [2] [3] .
The body shape is elongated (length about 3 mm). Eyes are absent at all phases of development. at the base of the hexagonal. The coxae of the front legs (cokes I) along the posterior margin bear lateral and medial teeth. On the valves of the anal valve 5 pairs of bristles. Larvae have 5 pairs of marginal ventral setae [2] [3] .
Obligate ectoparasites that feed on the blood of vertebrates. The development cycle is three-hosted. Among the hosts are rodents , gray hamsters Cricetulus and Rock Voles ( Alticola ) [2] [3] .
Three types are known:
- Anomalohimalaya cricetuli Teng & Huang, 1981 - Kyrgyzstan , China , Tajikistan (on Cricetulus migratorius , Alticola argentatus and Alticola sylvaticus ) [4] [5]
- Anomalohimalaya lamai Hoogstraal, Kaiser & Mitchell, 1970 typus - Nepal and Tibet (on rodents Cricetulus kamensis and Alticola ) [1]
