Description
19. Hyalomma nitidum Schulze, 1920.
An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla: Bovidae. All parasitic stages have been collected from Lagomorpha: Leporidae; adults alone have been taken from Artiodactyla: Bovidae and Suidae, Carnivora: Canidae, and Perissodactyla: Equidae; while nymphs and larvae have been recovered from Rodentia: Muridae. There are no records of Hyalomma nitidum causing human parasitism.

Note: Apanaskevich and Horak (2008a) treat Hyalomma nitidum as a valid species but leave open the possibility that it is conspecific with Hyalomma truncatum. Sands et al. (2017b) presented molecular evidence indicating that Hyalomma nitidum is most probably a synonym of the “northern lineage” of Hyalomma truncatum. See also Hyalomma albiparmatum for a discussion of the difficulties involved in morphologically separating Hyalomma albiparmatum, Hyalomma nitidum and Hyalomma truncatum.
