Haemaphysalis asiatica ( Supino, 1897 ) . Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) Indonesia (west of Wallace’s Line), 3) Laos , 4) Malaysia , 5) Myanmar , 6) Taiwan , 7) Thailand , 8) Vietnam (Hoogstraal & Trapido 1966, Phan Trong 1977 , Tanskul & Inlao 1989 , Kolonin 1995b , Robbins et al. 1997 , Chen et al. 2010 , Vongphayloth et al. 2016 , Petney et al. 2019 , Zhao et al. 2021 ). Hoogstraal & Trapido (1966) redescribed the male and female of Haemaphysalis asiatica and described the alleged nymph and larva, but Saito et al. (1971) stated that the described preimagines belong to a different species. Phan Trong (1977) included Haemaphysalis asiatica and Haemaphysalis dentipalpis in his list of ticks from Vietnam , but the latter name is a synonym of the former name (Hoogstraal & Trapido 1966).
