Note: the description of the female of Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Krijgsman and Ponto, 1932, a preoccupied name that is a synonym of Haemaphysalis bancrofti, in Toumanoff (1944), corresponds, in fact, to Haemaphysalis anomala, as explained in Hoogstraal et al. (1967b). There are redescriptions of Haemaphysalis anomala under the name Haemaphysalis cornigera anomala, but we include only the description and redescription of Haemaphysalis cornigera anomala by Sharif (1928).
