An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Carnivora (several families), but they have also been collected from Mammalia (several orders).

Note: Bedford (1934) described the larva of Rhipicentor nuttalli , but Theiler (1961) did not recognize it. There are some obvious morphological differences between both descriptions, but Theiler (1961) described the larva from laboratory-reared material. The description of Bedford (1934) is excluded from the above list.
