Walker
et al.
(2000)
stated that it can be difficult to morphologically separate females of
Rhipicephalus humeralis
from those of
Rhipicephalus pulchellus
, while the differentiation of larvae and nymphs of these species is even more challenging.
Allam
et al.
(2018)
reported
Rhipicephalus humeralis
from
Egypt
, but its presence in that country requires confirmation.
