Haemaphysalis darjeeling Hoogstraal and Dhanda, 1970 View in CoL

This species has been reported from Myanmar and Thailand, as well as eastern India (Hoogstraal and Dhanda 1970; Geevarghese and Mishra 2011). There is also a tentative identification from Lao PDR (Vongphayloth et al. 2016). Hoogstraal and Dhanda (1970) characterize it as being “a parasite of hill and mountain forest-dwelling ‘game animals’ ranging from the eastern Himalaya of India to the Chiang Mai area of north-western Thailand.” It is found at elevations up to ca. 1,000 m. Adults have been recorded from serow, wild pigs, and barking deer, and there is one record of a specimen from a human. The immatures are unknown (Hoogstraal and Dhanda 1 970).

The male and female are illustrated in Hoogstraal and Dhanda (1970).
