Note:
Kolonin (2009)
does not include
Haemaphysalis toxopei
as a valid species. There is a confusing statement in the original description of
Haemaphysalis toxopei
in
Warburton (1927)
, where the female of this species appears to be the same as the female of
Haemaphysalis kinneari
. According to
Trapido
et al.
(1964b)
,
Warburton’s (1927)
statement is a
lapsus
; however,
Anastos (1950)
, who reproduced most parts of the description of
Haemaphysalis toxopei
by
Warburton (1927)
, believes that this tick is probably a synonym of
Haemaphysalis kinneari
.
