Description

Dermacentor bellulus (Schulze, 1935)

This species, originally described by Schulze (1935), has been variously synonymized (D. atrosignatus Sugimoto 1937, D. auratus Teng and Jiang 1991, and D. taiwanensis Camicas et al. 1998) (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015c). All life history stages were redescribed by Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich (2015c). Unlike many of the newly described species, a good deal of host and locality data are available for this species (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015c). Dermacentor bellulus is known from China, Japan and Nepal, as well as from Lao PDR and Vietnam in continental Southeast Asia (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015c; Vongphayloth et al. 2018b). Most collections of adults come from wild pigs (Sus scrofa), while immatures have been recovered from small to medium-sized mammals of the families Canidae, Leporidae, Muridae, Mustelidae and Tupaiidae, as well as from a partridge (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2015c). All life history stages have been collected during most months of the year.

Descriptions of all life history stages are available in Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich (2015c).
