Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 107

16. Hyalomma kumari Sharif, 1928 .

Oriental: 1) India, 2) Nepal (south and central), 3) Pakistan (east); Palearctic: 1) Afghanistan, 2) Iran, 3) Tajikistan ( Kaiser & Hoogstraal 1963, Geevarghese & Dhanda 1987, Kolonin 2007, Apanaskevich et al. 2009, Karim et al. 2017).

Camicas et al. (1998) did not recognize the presence of Hyalomma kumari in the Palearctic Zoogeographic Region.

The locality of the only Nepalese specimen of Hyalomma kumari is unspecified ( Kaiser & Hoogstraal 1964); therefore, its inclusion here as found in the portion of Nepal belonging to the Oriental Region is tentative. HosseiniChegeni et al. (2019) included Hyalomma kumari in their list of Iranian ticks, although they stated that additional studies are needed to confirm its presence in Iran, which is provisionally included within the range of this tick.
