Description
86. Rhipicephalus zambeziensis Walker, Norval & Corwin, 1981.
Afrotropical: 1) Angola, 2) Botswana, 3) Mozambique, 4) Namibia, 5) South Africa, 6) Tanzania, 7) Zambia, 8) Zimbabwe (Norval et al. 1982, Tandon 1991, Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009, Horak et al. 2018).
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is morphologically very similar to Rhipicephalus zambeziensis, and differentiation of these species is sometimes difficult (Walker et al. 2000, Horak et al. 2018).
