BOOPHILDS AUSTRALIS (Ftdler, 1899). Listed from the Sudan by BaL. 

 four (1911HJ and King (1911 ). This narae, a synonym of B, 

 micro plus (Canestrini, 1888), which is not known from the 

 Sudaxi, probably refers to misidentified material of B. 

 decoloratus. It is less likely that it refers to B, ~aJinulatus . 



HAEl^lAPHYSALIS CAICARATA Neumann, 1902, was reported from Roseires, 

 Blue Nile Province, by Neumann (191 QA.). From his description 

 and figttre it is evident that this material represents H. 

 houyi Nuttall and Warburton, 1915 (Hoogstraal 1955D). King 

 (1^6) did not list H, calcarata in his reports on Sudan ticks, 

 and, although he collected specimens of H. houyi , they had 

 been identified as H, leachii. ~ 



HAEMAPHYSALIS ERINACEI Pavesi, 188^, which was reported from the 

 Sudan (Hoogstraal 1954B) was later (1955C) deleted. This re- 

 cord was due to an early erroneous identification, 



HYALCM4A AEGYPTITJM (Linnaeus, 1758). All Sudan Hyalomma ticks pre- 

 viously have been lumped under this name by King (1911,1926), 

 O'Farrell (1913A,B), and others. This species does not occur 

 in the Sudan, 



RHIPICEPHAUJS BURSA Canestrini and Fanzago, 1877. The report by 



Weber (1943), from 8700 feet elevation in the Imatong Mountains 

 of Equatoria Province, is based on material (kindly loaned by 

 Dr. J. Bequaert) that Dr, Theiler and I have found to be R. 

 kochi , " 



RHIPICEPHALUS CAPENSIS Koch, 18U. I have been unable to find evi- 

 dence to support Zumpt*s (19A2B) statement that this tick oc- 

 curs in the Sudan,
