2. Rhipicentor nuttalli Cooper and Robinson, 1908 View in CoL .

An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Carnivora (several families), but they have also been collected from Mammalia (several orders). Larvae and the undescribed nymph have been recovered from Macroscelidea : Macroscelididae . There are no records of Rhipicentor nuttalli causing human parasitism.

M: Cooper and Robinson (1908)

F: Neumann (1908a) , under the name Rhipicentor vicinus , a synonym of Rhipicentor nuttalli

N: undescribed

L: Theiler (1961); see note below

Redescriptions

M: Neumann (1908a) , under the name Rhipicentor vicinus, Theiler (1961) , Horak et al. (2018)

F: Theiler (1961), Horak et al. (2018)

L: none

Note: Bedford (1934) described the larva of Rhipicentor nuttalli , but Theiler (1961) did not recognize it. There are some obvious morphological differences between both descriptions, but Theiler (1961) described the larva from laboratory-reared material. The description of Bedford (1934) is excluded from the above list.
