72. Haemaphysalis intermedia Warburton & Nuttall, 1909 .

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Nepal (south and central), 3) Pakistan (east), 4) Sri Lanka (Hoogstraal 1971b, Keirans 1985 b, Kolonin 2009, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Liyanaarachchi et al. 2015a).

Haemaphysalis intermedia was originally named Haemaphysalis parva in Neumann (1908c) , but this name was preoccupied by Haemaphysalis parva ( Neumann, 1897) , under the genus Dermacentor , and was later found to belong to Haemaphysalis by Morel (1963a). Consequently, Haemaphysalis parva of Neumann (1908c) was renamed Haemaphysalis intermedia , as explained in Hoogstraal & Trapido (1963c).

Hoogstraal (1971b) included Nepal within the range of Haemaphysalis intermedia without providing the localities where this tick was found; therefore, its inclusion here as an Oriental species in Nepal is tentative.
