Description

5. Dermacentor bellulus (Schulze, 1935c).

Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) Japan (the Ryukyu Islands), 3) Laos, 4) Nepal (south and central), 5) Taiwan, 6) Vietnam; Palearctic: 1) Japan (except the Ryukyu Islands) (Apanaskevich & Apanaskevich 2015 b, Kwak 2018, Vongphayloth et al. 2018b).

Dermacentor bellulus was reinstated by Apanaskevich & Apanaskevich (2015b); prior to this study, it was confused with Dermacentor taiwanensis.

The presence of Dermacentor bellulus in China is not recognized by Zhang, G. et al. (2019), Zhang, Y.K. et al. (2019) and Zhao et al. (2021).
