Argas pusillus Kohls, 1950 View in CoL
This poorly studied bat tick occurs in the Australasian, Oriental and Palearctic Regions ( Camicas et al. 1998). It was first described by Kohls (1950) from the Philippines and has since been recorded from the ceiling of a house in peninsular Malaysia ( Audy et al. 1960), and from bats in Singapore ( Leong et al. 2010) and Thailand ( Uchikawa and Kobayashi 1978). Heath (2012) provides a table comparing the morphometrics of A. pusillus with other species from the Oriental and Australasian Regions.
Descriptions of the male and larva are available in Kohls (1950).
