44. Rhipicephalus longicoxatus Neumann, 1905 .

Afrotropical: 1) Kenya, 2) Tanzania ( Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009).

A few records of Rhipicephalus longicoxatus have been published under the name Rhipicephalus camelopardalis , a tick described by Walker & Wiley (1959), but later recognized as a synonym of Rhipicephalus longicoxatus by Walker et al. (2000).

Rhipicephalus longicoxatus was redescribed by Hoogstraal (1953b, 1956a), who unfortunately confused this tick with other Rhipicephalus species, which in turn led tick taxonomists to misidentify Rhipicephalus longicoxatus . This situation was settled by Walker et al. (2000), and papers on Rhipicephalus longicoxatus published prior to 2000 are not included in our analysis.
