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 : 78

Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) Indonesia (west of Wallace’s Line), 3) Laos, 4) Malaysia, 5) Myanmar, 6) Taiwan, 7) Thailand, 8) Vietnam (Hoogstraal & Trapido 1966, Phan Trong 1977, Tanskul & Inlao 1989, Kolonin 1995b, Robbins et al. 1997, Chen et al. 2010, Vongphayloth et al. 2016, Petney et al. 2019, Zhao et al. 2021).

Hoogstraal & Trapido (1966) redescribed the male and female of Haemaphysalis asiatica and described the alleged nymph and larva, but Saito et al. (1971) stated that the described preimagines belong to a different species.

Phan Trong (1977) included Haemaphysalis asiatica and Haemaphysalis dentipalpis in his list of ticks from Vietnam, but the latter name is a synonym of the former name (Hoogstraal & Trapido 1966).
