Note: many records of Rhipicephalus turanicus around the world are merely speculative, but we treat as valid the descriptions and redescriptions above; all other redescriptions ( e.g., Walker et al. 2000, Pérez-Eid 2007, Estrada-Peña et al. 2017, among others) require confirmation pending resolution of the taxonomic status of Rhipicephalus turanicus .
