73. Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley, 1946 .

A Neotropical species with a few records in the Nearctic Region, whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla: Cervidae . All parasitic stages have been collected from Cervidae, Artiodactyla: Bovidae and Tayassuidae, and Lagomorpha: Leporidae; adults and nymphs have been recovered from Artiodactyla: Suidae, Carnivora: Canidae, and Perissodactyla: Equidae; adults alone have been taken from Mammalia (several orders), and Passeriformes: Thraupidae . Immature stages have been found on Carnivora: Procyonidae, Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae, Pilosa: Myrmecophagidae, and Rodentia (several families), as well as Accipitri-formes: Accipitridae, Galliformes: Cracidae, and Passeriformes (several families) (Esser et al. 2016 a, Guglielmone & Robbins 2018). Haemaphysalis juxtakochi is a sporadic parasite of humans.

M: Aragão (1908a), under the name Haemaphysalis kochi, preoccupied, and replaced by Haemaphysalis kohlsi in Aragão and Fonseca (1951), a synonym of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, as discussed in Kohls (1960b); see note below

F: Aragão (1908a), under the name Haemaphysalis kochi Aragão; see above

Note: Cooley (1946) described Haemaphysalis juxtakochi as a species different from Haemaphysalis kochi, but, in fact, this author gave a new species epithet to a preoccupied name and redescribed the male and female of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, already described by Aragão (1908a) under the name Haemaphysalis kochi, a synonym of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, as discussed in Kohls (1960b). The name Haemaphysalis kochi of Aragão (1908a) was preoccupied by Haemaphysalis concinna kochi of Neumann (1905) and changed to Haemaphysalis kohlsi by Aragão and Fonseca (1951); however, the latter name became a synonym of Haemaphysalis juxtakochi of Cooley (1946) after the study of Kohls (1960b).
