Haemaphysalis obtusa Dönitz 1910
Authors/Creators
Description
113. Haemaphysalis obtusa D ö nitz, 1910 a.
Afrotropical: 1) Madagascar, 2) Réunion (Uilenberg et al. 1979, Kolonin 2009).
Haemaphysalis obtusa was described from several males collected on Réunion. Uilenberg et al. (1979) stated that Haemaphysalis obtusa is found on that island, but Barré & Morel (1983) maintained that its presence there is a consequence of importation from Madagascar and that this tick is not established there. We include Réunion within the range of Haemaphysalis obtusa.
Uilenberg et al. (1979) found morphological differences among specimens of Haemaphysalis obtusa, suggesting that more than one species may exist under this name.
