The material from uncertain localities near the Sudan-Uganda 

 border, which was the basis of King's (1911,1926) reports of the 

 rhinoceros dermacentor from the Sudan, was collected by him in 

 1909 and 1911. 



The recent specimens from Kagwe and from the gajne reserve 

 just west of the Nile near Nimule establish this species on both 

 the west and east banks of Equatoria Province.
