Extract

The male and female of Rhipicephalus reichenowi are re-described and the nymph and larva are described for the first time. The affinities of the species within the genus are discussed.

Its developmental periods under laboratory conditions are given and all known records of its hosts and distribution in the field are noted.

The author wishes to thank the Director of the East African Veterinary Research Organization for permission to publish this paper. She is also most grateful to everyone who submitted field collections of this species to her and to Dr Hoogstraal for permission to quote unpublished information; to Dr G. Theiler for her helpful suggestions during the preparation of the manuscript, and to Mr G. M. Kohls, Dr C. M. Clifford and Dr H. Hoogstraal, who also checked the manuscript before publication.
