Note: Rhipicephalus supertritus has been confused with several other species of Rhipicephalus, and there is disagreement concerning its geographical distribution and morphological definition (Walker et al. 2000). Therefore, all of the above redescriptions of Rhipicephalus supertritus should be considered provisional.
