Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) India, 3) Myanmar, 4) Nepal (south and central), 5) Pakistan (east), 6) Sri Lanka, 7) Vietnam; Palearctic: 1) Afghanistan, 2) Pakistan (west) ( Kaiser & Hoogstraal 1963, 1964, Geevarghese & Dhanda 1987, Apanaskevich & Horak 2008b, Chen et al. 2010, Liyanaarachchi et al. 2015 a, Karim et al. 2017, Pun et al. 2018).

Several records of Hyalomma isaaci have been published under the name Hyalomma marginatum isaaci .

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

Bursali et al. (2010, 2011) listed Hyalomma isaaci as a tick found in Turkey, but it is excluded in the later analysis of Turkish ticks by Bursali et al. (2012); nevertheless, Kassiri & Nasirian (2021) maintained that Hyalomma isaaci is found in Turkey, a statement not supported here. Chen et al. (2010), Zhang, G. et al. (2019) and Zhang, Y.K. et al. (2019) listed Hyalomma isaaci as found in southern China (Oriental Region), but Zhao et al. (2021) reported only one Chinese locality for Hyalomma isaaci , in the Palearctic portion of China, a record that is treated as unconfirmed here. At this time, only southern China is considered to be within the range of Hyalomma isaaci .
