Rhipicentor bicornis Nuttall & Warburton, 1908 . Afrotropical: 1) Angola , 2) Burundi , 3) Democratic Republic of the Congo , 4) Malawi , 5) Namibia , 6) Rwanda , 7) South Africa , 8) Zambia , 9) Zimbabwe ( Theiler 1961 , Elbl & Anastos 1966d , Keirans 1985 b , Kolonin 2009, Morel 2003 , Horak et al. 2018 ). Cornet (1995) listed Rhipicentor bicornis as present in the Central African Republic , but Uilenberg et al. (2013) treated the record from that country as unconfirmed, and we provisionally exclude the Central African Republic from the range of this tick.
