Haemaphysalis atheruri Hoogstraal, Trapido and Kohls, 1965

This is an Oriental forest species that is relatively host-specific for the Asiatic brush-tailed porcupine (Atherurus macrourus) from which it was originally described based on specimens from peninsular Malaysia and northeastern Thailand (Hoogstraal et al. 1965a). It has since been recorded from Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (Kolonin 1995, 2009). All life history stages have been found on A. macrourus, and records indicate that it can occur at up to 2,100 m above sea level (Hoogstraal et al. 1965a). It has occasionally been recorded on tree shrews and dogs (Tanskul et al. 1983; Guglielmone et al. 2014).

All life history stages are described in Hoogstraal et al. (1965a).
