Description
79. Rhipicephalus supertritus Neumann, 1907b.
Afrotropical: 1) Democratic Republic of the Congo, 2) Eritrea, 3) Ethiopia, 4) Malawi, 5) Mozambique, 6) Rwanda, 7) South Sudan, 8) Tanzania, 9) Uganda, 10) Zambia, 11) Zimbabwe (Yeoman & Walker 1967, Norval 1985 b, Matthysse & Colbo 1987, Tandon 1991, Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009, ElGhali & Hassan 2012).
Rhipicephalus supertritus has been confused with several species, such as Rhipicephalus bergeoni, Rhipicephalus compositus, Rhipicephalus longus and Rhipicephalus simus (Walker et al. 2000), and Guglielmone et al. (2020) treated redescriptions of Rhipicephalus supertritus as provisional. Among the several authors who have studied this tick, there are also stated differences in the geographic distribution of Rhipicephalus supertritus. The range of Rhipicephalus supertritus provided here accords with information published by Walker et al. (2000) and Kolonin (2009), but again, these data should be considered provisional.
