Haemaphysalis bequaerti Hoogstraal, 1956b . Afrotropical: 1) Ethiopia , 2) Kenya , 3) South Sudan , 4) Uganda ( Hoogstraal 1956 b , Theiler 1962, Walker 1974 , Morel 1980 , Matthysse & Colbo 1987 , Morel 2003 , ElGhali & Hassan 2012 ). Matthysse & Colbo (1987) included Tanzania within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis bequaerti , based on Yeoman & Walker (1967) , but the latter authors did not cite this species as occurring in Tanzania . Cornet (1995) listed Haemaphysalis bequaerti as present in the Central African Republic , but Uilenberg et al. (2013) did not confirm its presence there. Accordingly, we exclude Tanzania and the Central African Republic from the range of Haemaphysalis bequaerti .
