Haemaphysalis davisi Hoogstraal, Dhanda and Bhat, 1970

Haemaphysalis davisi was described from the Myitkyina area of northern Myanmar, with additional collections from northeastern India, occurring in both tropical and temperate zones between 140 m and 2,750 m (Dhanda et al. 1970). Adults have been found on domestic cattle, sheep, goats, horses, mules and hybrids between domestic cattle and gaur ( Bos gaurus ), as well as various wild deer species, gaur, tiger ( Panthera tigris tigris ) and hog badger ( A. collaris ). Nymphs occur on a similar range of hosts ( Geevarghese and Mistra 2011) but larval hosts are unknown.

The male, female and nymph are described in Hoogstraal et al. (1970).
