Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 79

14. Haemaphysalis bequaerti Hoogstraal, 1956b .

Afrotropical: 1) Ethiopia, 2) Kenya, 3) South Sudan, 4) Uganda ( Hoogstraal 1956 b, Theiler 1962, Walker 1974, Morel 1980, Matthysse & Colbo 1987, Morel 2003, ElGhali & Hassan 2012).

Matthysse & Colbo (1987) included Tanzania within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis bequaerti , based on Yeoman & Walker (1967), but the latter authors did not cite this species as occurring in Tanzania. Cornet (1995) listed Haemaphysalis bequaerti as present in the Central African Republic, but Uilenberg et al. (2013) did not confirm its presence there. Accordingly, we exclude Tanzania and the Central African Republic from the range of Haemaphysalis bequaerti .
