Note: Rhipicephalus supertritus has been confused with several other species of Rhipicephalus , and there is disagreement concerning its geographical distribution and morphological definition ( Walker et al. 2000). Therefore, all of the above redescriptions of Rhipicephalus supertritus should be considered provisional.
