24. Haemaphysalis campanulata Warburton, 1908 .

Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) India; Palearctic: 1) China (north), 2) Japan (except the Ryukyu Islands), 3) Mongolia, 4) North Korea, 5) South Korea ( Yamaguti et al. 1971, Keirans & Brewster 1981, Chen et al. 2010, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Zhao et al. 2021).

Kiefer et al. (2010) and Černý, J. et al. (2019) did not list Haemaphysalis campanulata as a Mongolian tick, but this species was described by Warburton (1908) from specimens collected in Mongolia on “Chinese dogs.” Mongolia is tentatively included within the range of Haemaphysalis campanulata , because it is unclear whether the “Chinese dogs” carried “Chinese ticks” or were infested in Mongolia.

Hoogstraal & Kim (1985) included an unidentified territory in the former Soviet Union within the distribution of Haemaphysalis campanulata , while Phan Trong (1977) listed this tick as present in Vietnam, a statement that requires confirmation. Tsai et al. (2012) claimed that Chen et al. (2010) included Taiwan within the range of Haemaphysalis campanulata , but Chen et al. (2010) did not list this tick as found in Taiwan. Additionally, Tsai et al. (2012) allegedly found Haemaphysalis campanulata on a bird in Taiwan, but their Table 2 shows this collection as having been made from a bat. We do not include Taiwan within the range of this tick. Kuo et al. (2017) also excluded Taiwan from the range of Haemaphysalis campanulata .
