Dermacentor raskemensis Pomerantzev 1946

Description

33. Dermacentor raskemensis Pomerantzev, 1946.

Oriental: 1) India; Palearctic: 1) Afghanistan, 2) Armenia, 3) China (north), 4) Iran, 5) Pakistan (west), 6) Syria, 7) Tajikistan, 8) Turkey, 9) Turkmenistan (Dhanda et al. 1971, Hoogstraal 1973 a, Hoogstraal & Valdez 1980, Filippova 1983, Voltzit & L’vov 1986, Kolonin 2006, Apanaskevich 2013b, Zhang, Y.K. et al. 2019, Orkun & Vatansever 2021).

Filippova (1983) stated that the holotype of Dermacentor raskemensis was collected in China. However, Chen et al. (2010), Zhang, G. et al. (2019) and Zhao et al. (2021) did not recognize the presence of Dermacentor raskemensis in that country, although Zhang, Y.K. (2019) listed this tick as found there. Hosseini-Chegeni et al. (2019) included Dermacentor raskemensis in their list of Iranian ticks, although they stated that additional studies are needed to confirm its presence in Iran. In our analysis, China (north) and Iran are provisionally included within the range of Dermacentor raskemensis.
