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 : 120

35. Rhipicephalus humeralis Tonelli Rondelli, 1926a .

Afrotropical: 1) Kenya, 2) Somalia, 3) Tanzania ( Yeoman & Walker 1967, Walker 1974, Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009, Olivieri et al. 2021).

Walker et al. (2000) stated that it can be difficult to morphologically separate females of Rhipicephalus humeralis from those of Rhipicephalus pulchellus , while the differentiation of larvae and nymphs of these species is even more challenging.

Allam et al. (2018) reported Rhipicephalus humeralis from Egypt, but its presence in that country requires confirmation.
