Treatment

14. Dermacentor halli McIntosh, 1931 View in CoL .

A Nearctic and Neotropical species whose adults have been collected from Artiodactyla : Bovidae and Tayassuidae , Carnivora : Canidae and Mephitidae , and Perissodactyla : Equidae and Tapiridae . This host profile differs from that in Guglielmone et al. (2014) and is based on Apanaskevich and Bermúdez (2013). Guglielmone et al. (2014) listed Dermacentor halli as a human parasite, but this was not confirmed in Guglielmone and Robbins (2018).

L: Arthur (1960a), Brinton et al. (1965)

Note: Fairchild et al. (1966) stated that specimens of Dermacentor halli from the Neotropical Region differ somewhat from Nearctic specimens, leaving open the possibility that more than one taxon is included under this name, a hypothesis confirmed by Apanaskevich and Bermúdez (2013) in their description of Dermacentor panamensis . Apanaskevich and Bermúdez (2013) state that Dermacentor halli as described in Yunker et al. (1986) is, in fact, Dermacentor panamensis .
