36. Haemaphysalis cornupunctata Hoogstraal & Varma, 1962 .

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Nepal (south and central), 3) Pakistan (east); Palearctic: 1) Afghanistan (Hoogstraal 1973a, Hoogstraal & Kim, 1985, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Karim et al. 2017, Pun et al. 2018).

Camicas et al. (1998) listed Haemaphysalis cornupunctata as an Oriental tick, but it is also found in the Palearctic Zoogeographic Region.

Hoogstraal & Kim (1985) included Nepal within the range of Haemaphysalis cornupunctata without providing the localities where this tick was found; therefore, its inclusion here as an Oriental species in Nepal is tentative.
