Dermacentor silvarum
Olenev, 1931a
, but see note below.
A Palearctic species in Guglielmone
et al.
(2014) but Zhang, G.
et al.
(2019) include the
Oriental Region
within the range of this tick, whose adults are usually found on
Artiodactyla
:
Bovidae
,
Cervidae
and
Suidae
, and
Perissodactyla
:
Equidae
; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from
Erinaceomorpha
:
Erinaceidae
,
Lagomorpha
:
Leporidae
, and
Rodentia
(several families). All parasitic stages have been collected from
Leporidae
. Adults and nymphs have been recovered from
Bovidae
and
Rodentia
:
Sciuridae
; adults have also been taken from
Carnivora
:
Felidae
; immature stages have been found on
Galliformes
:
Phasianidae
,
Passeriformes
(several families), and
Squamata
:
Lacertidae
; additionally, there are several records, presumably of immature stages, from
Aves
and
Mammalia
(Guglielmone
et al.
2014, Shao
et al.
2019).
Dermacentor silvarum
is a very frequent parasite of humans.

Note:
Olenev (1931a)
stated that
Dermacentor silvarum
was described in
Olenev (1931c)
, but
Filippova (1997)
considers this species to have been described in
Olenev (1931a)
. The study of
Olenev (1931c)
was published in
December 1931
; therefore, it is quite probable that the first description of
Dermacentor silvarum
is indeed that in
Olenev (1931a)
.
Filippova (1997)
does not recognize the description of the male of
Dermacentor silvarum
in
Olenev (1931a
, c), but this is treated as valid here.
See
also
Dermacentor marginatus
for a discussion of the problems attending identification of species in the
Dermacentor marginatus
group, to which
Dermacentor silvarum
belongs. Several redescriptions of
Dermacentor silvarum
published before the study of
Pomerantzev (1950)
, apart from those of
Olenev (1931a
, c), are not included in the above lists.
Filippova (1997)
does not recognize descriptions of the larva and nymph of
Dermacentor silvarum
published prior to the study of
Filippova and Panova (1985)
.
