Note: confusion of Haemaphysalis punctata with other species from the same genus was common at the beginning of the 20 th century, as noted by Guglielmone and Nava (2014); therefore, several redescriptions of Haemaphysalis punctata have been excluded from the above lists, as well as redescriptions under the name Haemaphysalis cinnabarina punctata , e.g., Nuttall and Warburton (1915) and others. See also Haemaphysalis cinnabarina for its proposed synonymy with Haemaphysalis punctata .
