Dermacentor tamokensis Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2016

Description

Dermacentor tamokensis Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich, 2016

This is a relatively widespread species, ranging from China to Nepal and including peninsular Malaysia, Lao PDR and Vietnam (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2016; Vongphayloth et al. 2018b). These authors indicate that the currently recognized disjunct distribution is probably artificial, and collections from Cambodia, Thailand and Myanmar could show its presence in those countries. Hosts of adults are wild pigs (Sus scrofa); the immatures are unknown. Collections from porcine hosts, as well as from vegetation, indicate that this species is active throughout the year (Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich 2016).

The male and female of D. tamokensis are described in Apanaskevich and Apanaskevich (2016).
