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 : 105

10. Hyalomma glabrum Delpy, 1949 .

Afrotropical: 1) South Africa ( Apanaskevich & Horak 2006, Horak et al. 2018).

Hyalomma glabrum (under the name Hyalomma rufipes glabrum ) was treated for decades as a synonym of Hyalomma turanicum (under the name Hyalomma marginatum turanicum ), which had supposedly been introduced into South Africa with imported sheep ( Hoogstraal 1956a). However, Apanaskevich & Horak (2006) reinstated Hyalomma glabrum as a valid Afrotropical tick restricted to South Africa.
