Extract

The identity of Hyalomma lusitanicum K. and H. anatolicum K. is discussed. The male and female of the two species are described. H. anatolicum is considered as species inquirenda, but distinct from H. anatolicum anatolicum (sensu Pomeranzev) and H. anatolicum excavatum (sensu Pomeranzev). H. anatolicum anatolicum and H. anatolicum excavatum are considered to be one polymorphic species. This species should be called H. excavatum as it tallies with the still existing type specimen of H. excavatum Koch; it should not be called H. anatolicum as it does not correspond to Koch's description of H. anatolicum. The name H. anatolicum should for the present be reserved for a species resembling H. excavatum, but characterized by the light yellow colour of the anterior part of the scutum. It remains to be determined by breeding experiments whether this character is constant.
