Haemaphysalis cornigera View in CoL occurs in peninsular Malaysia and Myanmar as well as Borneo, Indonesia and Singapore ( Anastos 1950; Hoogstraal and Kim 1985; Kolonin 2009). It has also been reported from India ( Sharif 1928; Kohls 1957; Bhat and Sreenivasan 1981). Adults parasitize deer, wild pigs and carnivores, whereas immatures feed on forest rodents. Humans can also be attacked ( Hoogstraal et al. 1972b).

The male and female are described and illustrated in Anastos (1950).
