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
.
