72. Haemaphysalis intermedia Warburton & Nuttall, 1909 .

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Nepal (south and central), 3) Pakistan (east), 4) Sri Lanka (Hoogstraal 1971b, Keirans 1985 b, Kolonin 2009, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Liyanaarachchi et al. 2015a).

Haemaphysalis intermedia was originally named Haemaphysalis parva in Neumann (1908c), but this name was preoccupied by Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897), under the genus Dermacentor, and was later found to belong to Haemaphysalis by Morel (1963a). Consequently, Haemaphysalis parva of Neumann (1908c) was renamed Haemaphysalis intermedia, as explained in Hoogstraal & Trapido (1963c).

Hoogstraal (1971b) included Nepal within the range of Haemaphysalis intermedia without providing the localities where this tick was found; therefore, its inclusion here as an Oriental species in Nepal is tentative.
