Abstract
A systematic study has been made of the species of Haemaphysalis occurring in
Australia. Six species were recognized in the material examined, namely H. humerosa,
H. ratti, H. bremneri, H. lagostrophi, H. bispinosa, and H. bancrofti. Two of these,
H. lagostrophi and H. bremneri, are new species, and H. ratti is recorded from Australia
for the first time. H. novaeguineae recorded by Nuttall and Warburton (1915) from
Queensland and the Northern Territory was not seen.
A detailed description with appropriate figures is given for the known stages in
the life cycle of each species, together with data on host range and geographical
distribution. Keys are presented for the males, females, and nymphs and a classified
host list has been included.
