Rhipicephalus cliffordi Morel, 1965

This species is considered to be a junior synonym of R. pseudolongus by some authors (Guglielmone et al., 2009). In Gabon, adults of this species were first collected in NdendØ ( Rousselot, 1953; as R. capensis and R. capensis longus ). It was probably confused with Rhipicephalus pseudolongus or R. longus . R. cliffordi has been found on Potamoechoerus porcus in Tchibanga and on Syncerus caffer nanus in NdendØ ( Morel, 1965a).
