Haemaphysalis kashmirensis Hoogstraal & Varma 1962

Description

76. Haemaphysalis kashmirensis Hoogstraal & Varma, 1962.

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Pakistan (east) (Hoogstraal & McCarthy 1965, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Karim et al. 2017).

Hoogstraal and co-workers presented a confused picture of the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis kashmirensis. Hoogstraal & Kim (1985) included Afghanistan within the range of this tick based on Hoogstraal & McCarthy (1965), but that country was not listed in the cited paper. Later, Hoogstraal & Valdez (1980) recorded this tick from Iran, but the presence of Haemaphysalis kashmirensis there was ignored in Hoogstraal & Kim (1985). Hosseini-Chegeni et al. (2019) listed Haemaphysalis kashmirensis as occurring in Iran but stated that additional studies are needed to confirm its presence there. Here, Afghanistan and Iran are not included within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis kashmirensis.
