DISTRIBUTION IN THE SUDAN 



King (1926) stated that R. s. simus occurs throughout Bquatoria, 

 Bahr El Ghazal, Upper Nile, Blue Tlile, Kordofan, and Kassala Prov- 

 inces and that it had at that time only recently established itself 

 in Northern Province where proper conditions of humidity for its 

 development prevailed around newly installed pumps and basin irri- 

 gation. King apparently had no Darfur Province records for this 

 species. 



Sudan localities from which specimens of the glossy tick have 

 been seen are; 



Bahr El Ghazal ; GaluaL-Nyang Forest (hyena, black-legged 

 mongoose, leopard, lion, buffalo, and warthog; domestic dogs; old 

 male baboons infested with as many as two hundred adult specimens; 

 25c^, 2qq engorging on men ; SVS, HH). Jur River (hippopotamus: SVS), 

 Lau (cattle; SGCj. Fanjak (domestic dogs and cattle; SVS, HH).
