Chen et al. (2010) and Zhang, Y.K. et al. (2019) did not include southern China within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis concinna , but such records are recognized in Zhang, G. et al. (2019) and Zhao et al. (2021) , and China (south) is provisionally included within the range of this tick. The presence of this tick in North and South Korea is based on Yamaguti et al. (1971) , while records from Uzbekistan appear in Rasulov (2007) . Haemaphysalis concinna is provisionally considered present in all three of these countries.
