Note: see Rhipicephalus hurti for a discussion of the difficulties involved in morphologically separating that species from Rhipicephalus jeanneli , as well as the possibility that a third species with external characters intermediate between Rhipicephalus jeanneli and Rhipicephalus hurti may exist.
