Walker (1974) stated that some records of Ixodes rubicundus and Ixodes pilosus from Kenya in fact represent Ixodes cavipalpus .

The presence of Ixodes cavipalpus in South Korea (Palearctic Region), reported by Noh (1965) and repeated in Sames et al. (2009), has never been confirmed; consequently, South Korea is excluded from the range of Ixodes cavipalpus .
