Abstract

Haemaphysalis Koch, 1844, is a widely distributed genus of ticks with 167 accepted species recognized worldwide (Guglielmone et al. in The hard ticks of the world (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae). Springer, Heidelberg, p 738, 2014). The larvae, nymphs and at least one adult stage are described for only 98 (59%) of all the known species. Nevertheless, most parasitic stages of species within the Palaearctic are known (Guglielmone et al. in The hard ticks of the world (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae). Springer, Heidelberg, p 738, 2014).
