Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 124

51. Rhipicephalus moucheti Morel, 1965d .

Afrotropical: 1) Guinea, 2) Benin, 3) Cameroon, 4) Sierra Leone ( Saratsiotis 1981, Konstantinov et al. 1990, Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009).

Walker et al. (2000) found that adults of Rhipicephalus moucheti as redescribed by Saratsiotis (1981) differ morphologically from those described by Morel (1965d). Additionally, Walker et al. (2000) stated that the descriptions of the larva and nymph of Rhipicephalus moucheti in Saratsiotis (1981) are almost identical to the descriptions of the immature stages of Rhipicephalus muhsamae by Pegram et al. (1987a).
