138. Haemaphysalis renschi Schulze, 1933a .

Australasian: 1) Indonesia (east of Wallace’s Line); Oriental: 1) Indonesia (west of Wallace’s Line) (Hoogstraal & Anastos 1968, Durden et al. 2008).

Haemaphysalis renschi was regarded as a synonym of Haemaphysalis bispinosa prior to its reinstatement by Hoogstraal & Anastos (1968).

Camicas et al. (1998) treated Haemaphysalis renschi as an Oriental species, but it was later found in the Australasian Zoogeographic Region by Durden et al. (2008).

Haemaphysalis renschi was listed as a Vietnamese tick by Phan Trong (1977), but there has been no confirmation of its presence in Vietnam, and that country is provisionally excluded from this species´ range.
