(= H. BRUMFTI Delpy, 19/h6A) . 



(Figures 170 to 173) 



KRATZ«S KfALO^MA 



NOTE: The name impeltatum , proposed by Schulze and Schlottke 

 (1930) in a brief key to Hyalomma ticks, was said to apply to a 

 subspecies of H. savignyi . Subsequent workers were unable to 

 recognize this tick on the basis of the brief data provided. The 

 original material was redescribed and illustrated by Kratz (194-0) . 

 Kratz also indicated that Tonelli-Rondelli's (1932C) H. erythraeum 

 from Eritrea is probably a synonym. Delpy overlooked~both H. 

 erythraeum and Kratz 's description of impeltatum and (19A6a7 

 described H. brumpti as a new species froa Cameroons. It now 

 appears that H. brumpti is a synonym of H. impeltatum . The 

 statvis of H. eiybhraeum is still moot. ~ 



DISTRIBUTION IN THE SUDAN 



In the Sudan, H. impeltatum is restricted to the drier cen- 

 tral Provinces. It""may occur locally in Northern Province, but 

 no records are available.
