Haemaphysalis papuana Thorell, 1883 . Australasian: 1) Indonesia (east of Wallace’s Line), 2) Papua New Guinea ; Oriental: 1) Cambodia , 2) Indonesia (west of Wallace’s Line), 3) Malaysia , 4) Thailand , 5) Vietnam ( Trapido et al. 1964 a , Phan Trong 1977, Hoogstraal 1982, Keirans 1985b , Tanskul & Inlao 1989 , Kolonin 2009 , Owen 2011 , Petney et al. 2019 ). Haemaphysalis papuana was difficult to identify prior to its redescription by Trapido et al. (1964a) , and records published before 1964 are not analyzed here. Records of Haemaphysalis papuana from Australia , “Caucasia,” North Korea and India are erroneous ( Trapido et al. 1964 a , Yamaguti et al. 1971). The Philippines is included within the range of Haemaphysalis papuana by Durden et al. (2008) , based on Trapido et al. (1964a) , but all supposed Philippines records of this tick in the latter paper were subsequently identified as Haemaphysalis susphilippensis by Hoogstraal et al. (1968a) .
