87. Rhipicephalus ziemanni Neumann, 1904 .

Afrotropical: 1) Angola, 2) Benin, 3) Cameroon, 4) Central African Republic, 5) Congo, 6) Democratic Republic of the Congo, 7) Gabon, 8) Ghana, 9) Guinea, 10) Guinea-Bissau, 11) Ivory Coast, 12) Nigeria, 13) Senegal, 14) Sierra Leone, 15) Togo ( Morel 2003, Ntiamoa-Baidu et al. 2004, Uilenberg et al. 2013, Sylla et al. 2021).

The geographic distribution of Rhipicephalus ziemanni is mostly based on Morel (2003), who recognized Rhipicephalus ziemanni and Rhipicephalus aurantiacus as valid species, while Walker et al. (2000) treated Rhipicephalus aurantiacus , with reservations, as a synonym of Rhipicephalus ziemanni (see Rhipicephalus aurantiacus above).

The presence of Rhipicephalus ziemanni in Nigeria is based on Morel (2003), although Kamani et al. (2019) later identified specimens from Nigeria as Rhipicephalus sp. near ziemanni .
