71. Rhipicephalus senegalensis Koch, 1844a. An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla, but they have also been found on Mammalia (several orders) and rarely on Anseriformes: Anatidae. Immature stages have been collected from Carnivora: Herpestidae, Rodentia: Muridae, Sciuridae and Thryonomyidae, and Macroscelidea: Macroscelididae. Rhipicephalus senegalensis is a rare parasite of humans. M: Zumpt (1943a), under the name Rhipicephalus simus longoides, a synonym of Rhipicephalus senegalensis F: Koch (1844a) N: Vassiliades (1964) L: Vassiliades (1964) Redescriptions M: Tendeiro (1959a), Clifford and Anastos (1962), Vassiliades (1964), Walker et al.

(2000) caution that the morphological separation of Rhipicephalus senegalensis from Rhipicephalus longus and Rhipicephalus pseudolongus is difficult; consequently, several redescriptions of Rhipicephalus senegalensis are not included in the above list.
