Abstract
Worldwide there are 42 species in the genus Dermacentor. Fifteen species (36% of the total) are known from the Palearctic Region, 11 of them occurring only there, while an additional 15 species (36%) are found in the Oriental Region, ten of them occurring only in that region. Nine species of Dermacentor or 21% of all taxa in the genus are found in the Neotropics, but only four of these are exclusively Neotropical species.
