Haemaphysalis inermis Birula 1895

Description

70. Haemaphysalis inermis Birula, 1895.

A Palearctic species whose adults and immature stages have been found on Mammalia (several orders). Adult ticks alone have been collected from Charadriiformes: Scolopacidae; larvae and nymphs have been recovered from Rodentia: Cricetidae and Muridae, Soricomorpha: Talpidae, Squamata: Lacertidae and Viperidae, and Testudines: Testudinidae; larvae alone have been taken from Passeriformes: Sylviidae and Muscicapidae. Haemaphysalis inermis is a sporadic parasite of humans.

Note: Haemaphysalis ambigua is a synonym of Haemaphysalis inermis (Hoogstraal 1969, Guglielmone and Nava 2014, Guglielmone et al. 2015), but Haemaphysalis ambigua in Neumann (1906), Hoogstraal and Wilson (1966) and Kitaoka and Mori (1967) is in fact Haemaphysalis kitaokai, as discussed in Hoogstraal (1969). Burger et al. (2013) found that Haemaphysalis inermis and Haemaphysalis parva form a clade divergent from the rest of Haemaphysalis.
