Haemaphysalis parva

Description

120. Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897).

A Palearctic species, all of whose parasitic stages have been collected from Erinaceomorpha: Erinaceidae, but also from Galliformes: Phasianidae, and Passeriformes: Corvidae. Adult ticks alone have been collected from Mammalia (several orders); adults and nymphs have been recovered from Carnivora: Mustelidae, Lagomorpha: Leporidae, Rodentia: Sciuridae, and Accipitriformes: Accipitridae; adults and undetermined immature stages have been found on Artiodactyla: Bovidae, Falconiformes: Falconidae, and Passeriformes: Sturnidae. Immature stages have been taken from Rodentia: Cricetidae, Dipodidae, Muridae and Spalacidae; Charadriiformes: Burhinidae and Scolopacidae, Gruiformes: Gruidae, Passeriformes (several families), Piciformes: Picidae, Strigiformes: Strigidae, and Squamata: Colubridae, Lacertidae and Viperidae. Haemaphysalis parva is a very frequent parasite of humans.

M: Neumann (1897), under the name Dermacentor parvus, but amended and given its current status in Morel (1963a); see note below

F: Schulze (1919), under the name Haemaphysalis otophila; see note below

N: Pospelova-Shtrom (1940), under the name Haemaphysalis otophila; see note below

L: Pospelova-Shtrom (1940), under the name Haemaphysalis otophila; see note below

Note: the name Haemaphysalis parva (Neumann, 1897) should not be confused with Haemaphysalis parva Neumann, 1908d. The latter is a preoccupied name changed to Haemaphysalis intermedia, as explained in Trapido and Hoogstraal (1963), and in the corresponding text for this species above. Guglielmone et al. (2017) state that the decision to synonymize Haemaphysalis otophila with Haemaphysalis parva by Morel (1963a) is questionable because comparison was made with redescriptions of Haemaphysalis otophila by Pomerantzev (1950) and Feldman-Muhsam (1951), ignoring its original description in Schulze (1919). The larva of Haemaphysalis parva is listed as undescribed in Camicas et al. (1998), but its description under the name Haemaphysalis otophila and redescription by Filippova (1997) are treated as valid here. Burger et al. (2013) found that Haemaphysalis inermis and Haemaphysalis parva form a clade divergent from the rest of Haemaphysalis. See also Haemaphysalis sulcata for its confusion with Haemaphysalis parva.
