RUSSIA : NOTE: According to Delpy (1%9B), Soviet authors 

 have frequently confused H. excavatum (= H. anatolicum ) under H. 

 marginatum (= H. savignyij . Most Russian~reports of "H. savignyi " 

 appear to apply to H. excavatum (H.H.)« ~ 



Most Soviet records for H. anatolicum subspp. since 1948 can 

 be considered as applying to H. excavatum " and most records for H. 

 marginatxim (and in 1950 for hT p. plumbeum ) as referring to wha!^ 

 is herein called H. marginatum . After an intensive study of all 

 available Soviet Titerature on ticks and tick- borne diseases, it 

 is concluded that Delpy 's remarks in this respect apply chiefly 

 if not entirely to reports by Galuzo (1941 and 1944) and by Galuzo, 

 Bolditzina, and Kaitmazova (1944) on ticks of Kazakstan and control 

 of piroplasmosis vectors in that area. Correspondence with Dr. 

 Delpy concerning this matter has not elicited a reply. On bio- 

 logical grounds, it appears that Galuzo 's "H. savignyi _ H. 

 anatolicum ?* applies to H. excavatum (= H. anatolicum of ^viet 

 workers) . It is possible that the use of the name H. savignyi 

 by Zotova and Bolditzina (1943 ) , who reported on work with H. 

 marginatum and H. savignyi in relation to attempts to infecT 

 ticks with brucellosis in the laboratory, also applies to H. 

 excavatum .
