Note: Abdel-Shafy et al. (2011) redescribed the larva and nymph of Hyalomma impressum based on progeny derived from a local Egyptian camel (Palearctic), but it is uncertain whether this tick is established in Egypt, and these redescriptions are not included in the list above. The Asian records of Hyalomma impressum by Ali et al. (2020) are treated here as misidentifications.
