Haemaphysalis japonica Warburton 1908

Description

73. Haemaphysalis japonica Warburton, 1908.

Palearctic: 1) China (north), 2) Japan (except the Ryukyu Islands), 3) North Korea, 4) Russia, 5) South Korea (Yamaguti et al. 1971, Filippova 1997, Kolonin 2009, Chen et al. 2010, Kim et al. 2011 a, Takano et al. 2014, Tsapko 2020, Seo et al. 2021).

Several records of Haemaphysalis japonica have been published under the name Haemaphysalis japonica douglasi.

The presence of this tick in North Korea is based on Yamaguti et al. (1971).

Keirans (1985b, page 1404) recorded a male of Haemaphysalis japonica allegedly collected in Myanmar, but this appears to be a typographical error because the specimen was apparently sent by a person working in Africa. Krishnamoorthy et al. (2021) recorded this tick in southern India, a record that requires verification. Myanmar and India are not included within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis japonica.

Takano et al. (2014) found that sequences of the 16S rDNA gene from Japanese populations of Haemaphysalis megaspinosa and Haemaphysalis japonica were similar and not suitable for separating these species.
