Haemaphysalis sundrai Sharif, 1928 . Oriental: 1) India , 2) Nepal (south and central) ( Hoogstraal & El Kammah 1970 , Dhanda & Bhat 1971 , Kolonin 2009 , Pun et al. 2018 ). Several records of Haemaphysalis sundrai have been published under the name Haemaphysalis himalaya , described by Hoogstraal (1966c) , which is a synonym of Haemaphysalis sundrai , as discussed in Guglielmone et al. (2009) . Nevertheless, authors such as Ghosh et al. (2007) and Geevarghese & Mishra (2011) have treated both Haemaphysalis sundrai and Haemaphysalis himalaya as valid.
