Description

39. Rhipicephalus kohlsi (Hoogstraal and Kaiser, 1960).

An Afrotropical and Palearctic species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Artiodactyla: Bovidae, but they have been also collected from Artiodactyla: Camelidae and Cervidae, and Perissodactyla: Equidae. There are no records of Rhipicephalus kohlsi causing human parasitism.

M: Hoogstraal and Kaiser (1960), under the name Boophilus kohlsi and given its current status in Horak et al. (2002)

F: Hoogstraal and Kaiser (1960), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

N: Hoogstraal and Kaiser (1960), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

L: Köhler and Hoffmann (1967), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

Redescriptions

M: Hoogstraal et al. (1981), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

F: Hoogstraal et al. (1981), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

N: Hoogstraal et al. (1981), under the name Boophilus kohlsi

L: none

Note: Camicas et al. (1998) treat Rhipicephalus kohlsi (under the name Boophilus kohlsi) as a Palearctic species, but Guglielmone et al. (2014) state that it has also been found in the Afrotropical Region.
