“…In earlier reports (Hoogstraal & Kaiser, 1959;Pegram et ai, 1982;McCartan et al, 1987) on the tick fauna of the Yemen Arab Republic, the components of the group of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) were not specifically identified. Hoogstraal & Kaiser (1959), however, noted that some of their Yemen specimens obtained by Dr B. FeldmanMuhsam were returned labelled R. secundus Feldman-Muhsam (now regarded as a synonym of R. turanicus Pomerantsev).…”

Ticks of the group of Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Latreille) in 423 total monthly collections taken from camels, cattle, donkeys, sheep and goats between September 1978 and August 1979, and in a few miscellaneous collections, from the Yemen Arab Republic were examined. Adult ticks of three species in the group were identified: R. camicasi Morel, Mouchet & Rodhain, R. turanicus Pomerantsev and R. sanguineus s.s. Host relationships and ecological affinities were analysed. R. sanguineus s.s. occurred rarely, only on dogs. R. turanicus occurred on all host species including dogs but more frequently on cattle and camels. It was collected from both dry and wet habitats but was taken regularly at only one wetter site. R. camicasi, the most common species in the group, occurred at most collecting sites on all host species except dogs. Overall, the numbers of R. sanguineus group ticks were low throughout the country and no seasonal patterns could be detected.

“…They further noted that R. secundus (= R. turanicus) from North Yemen (Hoogstraal & Kaiser, 1959) was probably R. sulcatus. Former records of R. turanicus from Ethiopia (Bergeon & Balis, 1974) were relisted as R. bergeoni and R. sulcatus by Morel (1980).…”

For many years the biosystematic status of several species in the Rhipicephalus sanguineus group has been confused, with the result that they have often been misidentified. Over the years some 18 of these species have been synonymised with R. sanguineus (Latreille, 1806) itself. More recently four new species in the group have been described: R. guilhoni Morel & Vassiliades, 1963; R. moucheti Morel, 1964; R. bergeoni Morel & Balis, 1976; and R. camicasi Morel, Mouchet & Rodhain, 1976.The literature on this group is critically reviewed and the main systematic problems analysed. R. sulcatus Neumann, 1908 and R. turanicus Pomerantsev, 1936 are two species that were confused both morphologically and ecologically. This has resulted in erroneous conclusions regarding their host relationships and distributions. Integrated biological, morphological and ecological studies on these two species have been conducted. Cross-breeding experiments have proved that both are distinct taxonomic entities. Interbreedings between African and Cypriot strains of R. turanicus demonstrated marked heterosis.A scanning electron microscope was used to determine the main diagnostic morphological differences between the larvae, nymphae and adults of R. sulcatus and R. turanicus, and the morphological similarities between African and Cypriot strains of R. turanicus.Rhipicephalus sulcatus occurs widely in the Afrotropical region in wetter ecological habitats and most frequently parasitises hares, dogs and jackals. R. turanicus occurs more-or-less throughout the Afrotropical region in a wide range of climatic biotopes, as well as in parts of southern Europe, Arabia and Asia, and is most abundant in the late rainy/early dry seasons. It occurs on a wide range of domesticated and wildlife hosts, including ground-feeding birds.

“…Later Hoogstraal & Kaiser (1959) proposed that it be considered a subspecies of H. impeltatum, whereas Camicas et al (1998) consider H. somalicum a junior synonym of H. erythraeum Tonelli Rondelli, 1932. Hoogstraal (1956 briefly described adults of a "Hyalomma ?…”

“…species" from Somalia and adjacent areas, which at that time he could not accommodate in any other valid species. A few years later, Hoogstraal & Kaiser (1959) apparently considered this species to be H. impeltatum somalicum, but Kaiser & Hoogstraal (1968) finally decided that the unknown "Hyalomma ? species" should be known as H. erythraeum, thus resurrecting this name from amongst the synonyms of H. excavatum (see Tendeiro, 1955), and as a questionable synonym of H. impeltatum (see Hoogstraal, 1956).…”
