Haemaphysalis rusae Kohls, 1950b . Australasian: 1) Papua New Guinea ; Oriental: 1) Philippines (Hoogstraal 1982, Hoogstraal & Wassef 1983 a , Kolonin 2009). Owen (2011) did not recognize Haemaphysalis rusae as occurring in Papua New Guinea . He may have overlooked its presence there because the Hoogstraal & Wassef (1983a) paper is not included in his references.
