Haemaphysalis kitaokai Hoogstraal 1969

Description

77. Haemaphysalis kitaokai Hoogstraal, 1969.

An Oriental and Palearctic species whose adults and nymphs have been found on Artiodactyla: Bovidae and Cervidae; adult ticks alone have been recovered from Perissodactyla: Equidae, and Galliformes: Phasianidae; larvae have been found on Rodentia: Muridae. Haemaphysalis kitaokai is a very rare parasite of humans.

M: Keegan and Toshioka (1957), under the name Haemaphysalis inermis, as explained in Hoogstraal (1969)

F: Keegan and Toshioka (1957), under the name Haemaphysalis inermis, as explained in Hoogstraal (1969)

N: Kitaoka and Mori (1967), under the name Haemaphysalis ambigua, a synonym of Haemaphysalis inermis, as explained in Hoogstraal (1969)

Note: Camicas et al. (1998) treat Haemaphysalis kitaokai as a Palearctic species, but Teng and Jiang (1991) found it in both Oriental and Palearctic localities in China. Li et al. (2018) present molecular evidence to hypothesize that more than one species may exist under the name Haemaphysalis kitaokai. See also Haemaphysalis inermis for data concerning its confusion with Haemaphysalis kitaokai.
