Note: Dermacentor andersoni has been misidentified on several occasions and at localities around the world (Guglielmone et al. 2014, 2015, Guzmán-Cornejo et al. 2016). See Dermacentor occidentalis for a discussion of the difficulties involved in separating the nymph and larva of that species from the corresponding stages of Dermacentor andersoni . 3.

Note: Teng and Jiang (1991) and Kolonin (2009) treat Dermacentor asper as a synonym of Dermacentor sinicus Schulze, 1931 , but it is regarded as provisionally valid in Guglielmone et al. (2014, 2015).
