28. Rhipicephalus follis D ö nitz, 1910 a.

Afrotropical: 1) Eswatini, 2) South Africa (Walker et al. 2000, Horak et al. 2018).

Rhipicephalus follis is difficult to identify morphologically. This species’ adults have been confused with those of Rhipicephalus capensis, Rhipicephalus gertrudae, Rhipicephalus lounsburyi and Rhipicephalus simus, and separation of the immature stages is especially difficult (Walker et al. 2000, Horak et al. 2018).
