The species was clearly identified in Turkey,[3] but Miniopterus schreibersii pallidus was also recorded in others countries in the Middle East, Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
So far, the species was only recorded in caves,[4] but it is possible that different type of underground roosts are used by this species during the year, as for Miniopterus schreibersii.
This species is listed in the Berne Convention and is specifically targeted by the UNEP-EUROBATS convention.[5]
