Treatment

19. Hyalomma nitidum Schulze, 1920 View in CoL .

An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla : Bovidae . All parasitic stages have been collected from Lagomorpha : Leporidae ; adults alone have been taken from Artiodactyla : Bovidae and Suidae , Carnivora : Canidae , and Perissodactyla : Equidae ; while nymphs and larvae have been recovered from Rodentia : Muridae . There are no records of Hyalomma nitidum causing human parasitism.

Redescriptions

M: Schulze and Schlottke (1929a) and Kratz (1940), under the name Hyalomma impressum nitidum, Tomassone et al. (2005) , Apanaskevich and Horak (2008a)

F: Schulze and Schlottke (1929a) and Kratz (1940), under the name Hyalomma impressum nitidum, Tomassone et al. (2005) , Apanaskevich and Horak (2008a)

N: none

L: none

Note: Apanaskevich and Horak (2008a) treat Hyalomma nitidum as a valid species but leave open the possibility that it is conspecific with Hyalomma truncatum . Sands et al. (2017b) presented molecular evidence indicating that Hyalomma nitidum is most probably a synonym of the “northern lineage” of Hyalomma truncatum . See also Hyalomma albiparmatum for a discussion of the difficulties involved in morphologically separating Hyalomma albiparmatum , Hyalomma nitidum and Hyalomma truncatum .
