Note: Camicas et al. (1998) state that Haemaphysalis novaeguineae is an Australasian and Oriental species, but Guglielmone et al. (2014) follow Hoogstraal and Kim (1985), who list it as an exclusively Australasian taxon. The name Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Hirst should not be confused with Haemaphysalis novaeguineae Krijgsman and Ponto , a preoccupied name and synonym of Haemaphysalis bancrofti , which itself is also confused with Haemaphysalis anomala . See Haemaphysalis anomala and Haemaphysalis bancrofti .
