(Figures 182 to 185) 



THE HAIRY HYALCMMA 



NOTE: H. rxifipes is a most distinctive tick although Schulze, 

 Delpy, and Feldman-Muhsam in their earlier reports confused H. 

 rufipes \mder the name H. impressum. Nuttall during the first 

 quarter of the 1900s identified African specimens as H. aegyptium 

 impressum and many British and some Italian workers oT this period 

 followed this precedent. The only other African species of wide 

 range, H. trunoatum , was referred to by this school as H. aegyptium . 

 A few Russian synonyms are listed in the distribution section below, 

 but contemporary Soviet usage concerning the nomenclature of this 

 tick appears to be incorrect.
