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 : 101

161. Haemaphysalis taiwana Sugimoto, 1936 .

Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) Taiwan ( Robbins 2005, Chen et al. 2010, Zhao et al. 2021).

Some reports of Haemaphysalis taiwana have been published under the name Haemaphysalis cornigera taiwana .

Kolonin (2009) accepted a broader range for this tick than presented here because he regarded Haemaphysalis anomaloceraea and Haemaphysalis shimoga as synonyms of Haemaphysalis taiwana , but these three species are valid in Guglielmone et al. (2010 b, 2014, 2020) and here.

Teng & Jiang (1991) treated Haemaphysalis taiwana as a synonym of Haemaphysalis cornigera , but Chen et al. (2010), Zhang, G. et al. (2019) and Zhang, Y.K. et al. (2019), among others, have considered Haemaphysalis taiwana valid, and southern China is included within the range of this tick.
