Haemaphysalis spinigera Neumann, 1897 . An Oriental species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Mammalia (several orders), but they have also been collected from Galliformes : Phasianidae (rarely as adults). Larvae and nymphs are also commonly recovered from Aves (several orders). Haemaphysalis spinigera is a very frequent parasite of humans. M: Neumann (1897) F: Neumann (1897) N: Trapido et al.

Records of this tick from Nigeria (Afrotropical Zoogeographic Region) in Isaac et al. (2019) are most probably a consequence of misidentification.
