Males and females of Hyalomma dromedarii have been confused with the corresponding stages of some congeners, and with females of Hyalomma schulzei, as discussed in Apanaskevich et al. (2008b), who also stated that there are more than 10 synonyms for Hyalomma dromedarii.

Spain is included within the geographic distribution of Hyalomma dromedarii because this tick has been found in the Canary Islands. Kiefer et al. (2010) doubted the presence of Hyalomma dromedarii in Mongolia, but Černý, J. et al. (2019) listed this tick as found there. Mongolia is therefore provisionally included within the range of Hyalomma dromedarii.

Uilenberg et al. (2013) stated that specimens of Hyalomma dromedarii found in the Central African Republic were introduced with foreign livestock, concluding that this tick may not be established there, and we provisionally exclude the Central African Republic from the range of Hyalomma dromedarii.
