Haemaphysalis birmaniae Supino, 1897

Haemaphysalis birmaniae is poorly known. It has been recorded from altitudes between 150 m and 2,400 m, but most commonly above 1,000 m. Both adults and immatures occur on wild and domestic artiodactyls ( Hoogstraal 1970a; Yin and Luo 2007). A nymph was found feeding on a human in Kathmandu, Nepal ( Hoogstraal 1970a). It is known from peninsular Malaysia and Myanmar, as well as from India, Nepal and southern China including Taiwan ( Hoogstraal 1970a; Chen et al. 2010).

The type male and female are described in Hoogstraal et al. (1965a), all life history stages in Hoogstraal (1970a).
