40. Haemaphysalis darjeeling Hoogstraal & Dhanda, 1970 .

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Laos, 3) Myanmar, 4) Thailand ( Tanskul & Inlao 1989, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Vongphayloth et al. 2016, Petney et al. 2019).

The holotype of Haemaphysalis darjeeling was originally identified as Haemaphysalis birmaniae . Kolonin (2009) treated the morphological redescription of Haemaphysalis darjeeling in Tanskul & Inlao (1989) as closer to that of Haemaphysalis quadriaculeata than to Haemaphysalis darjeeling .

Vongphayloth et al. (2016) listed specimens found in Laos as Haemaphysalis darjeeling or a species close to it; therefore, Laos is provisionally considered to be within the range of this tick.

Vongphayloth et al. (2016) included Nepal and Malaysia within the geographic distribution of Haemaphysalis darjeeling , but its presence in those countries could not be confirmed during this review.
