White-beaxded gnu (Loveridge 1928). Dik-dik (Loveridge 1928, 

 Stella 1939b). Kobus ellipsiprymus and Adenota vardoni (Schwetz 

 and Collart 1929) . Hippotragus niger roosevelti (Santos Dias 

 1952D). Hartebeest and lechwe (Matthysse 195^^. 



Mettam (1933) reported the interesting observation that 

 newly- born kob, duiker, bushbuck, and reedbuck in an Entebbe 

 paddock heavily infested with R. appendiculatus and R. evert si 

 were in no instance affected by these ticks. ~ 



Buffalo ; (Howard 1908, Richardson 1930, Lewis 19310,19^3, 

 Walker 1932, Jack 19A2, Santos Dias 1950B,1952D). 



Carnivores ; Hxinting dog (Lycaon sp.) (Howard 1908). Lion 

 (Zumpt 19^26, Santos Dias 1953H, Matthysse 1954.) . Felis capensis 

 hindei (Allen and Loveridge 1933). Jackal (Santos Dias 195^D, 

 1953B;. Leopard (Santos Dias 1952H,1953B, Matthysse 195A). 



Man ; (Howard 1908). 



Miscellaneous ; "All game animals in Kenya" (Lewis 1939A) 

 but "rare on game in Masai Reserve" (Lewis 1934-). Warthog and 

 elephant (Zumpt 19428). Zebra (Lewis 1931,1932, Santos Dias 

 1952D, Matthysse 1954). Giraffe (Santos Dias 1953B). 



Stage of Tick Questionable 



Squirrel (Bedford 1932B). Hares (Schwetz 1927A, Jack 1942). 



Nymphal Hosts 



Hares and rock rabbits (Pronolagus sp.) (Theiler, unpublished), 

 Large cane rat (Wilson 1950B)1 Bush squirrel (Santos Dias 1952D). 

 Duiker (Lewis 1931C). Zebra, hartebeest, lechwe, kudu, hares 

 (large numbers), and jackals (Matthysse 1954). Man (Bquatoria 

 Province record above. Pijper and Dau 1934). 



Tick identification "probable"; elephant- shrews (Rhinonax 

 chrysopygus and Petrodromus s. sultani ) and Peter's gazelle 

 (Lumsden 1955). Parasitism of elephant shrews by nymphs of this 

 species is probably rare or questionable.
