King (1926) listed Equatoria Province without localities and 

 his specimen vials include no further data. The nymph from a 

 chameleon was identified by Dr. G. Theiler. 



DISTRIBUTION IN THE SUDAN 



Although it may have been reasonable to expect that A. tholloni 

 occxu:s on elephants in Bahr El Ghazal and Upper Nile Province and on 

 the west bank of Equatoria Province, no specimens have been co'L. 

 lected to indicate its presence in these places. Ticks from several 

 elephants shot near Yirol and Kenisa in Bahr El Ghazal and Upper Nile 

 Provinces in 1911, 1953, and 195/i-, have all been R. simus siraus, R. 

 simus senegalensis , or intergrades of these two subspecies. 



DISTRIBUTIOi: 



A. tholloni occurs through much of tropical Africa, wherever 

 the African elephant, Loxodonta africana subspp., is found, except 

 possibly along the northern and southern margins of the host's 

 range.
