5. Haemaphysalis anomala Warburton, 1913 .

Oriental: 1) Cambodia, 2) India, 3) Nepal (south and central), 4) Sri Lanka, 5) Thailand, 6) Vietnam ( Seneviratna 1965, Hoogstraal et al. 1967b, Tanskul & Inlao 1989, Geevarghese & Mishra 2011, Pun et al. 2018, Petney et al. 2019).

The presence of Haemaphysalis anomala in Sri Lanka is based on a record from Seneviratna (1965), who referred to this tick as Haemaphysalis cornigera anomala . However, Haemaphysalis anomala is not included as a Sri Lankan species in Liyanaarachchi et al. (2015a), and we provisionally include this country here.
