Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
A new species of Rhipicephalid tick, Rhipicephalus hurti, is described from game animals from the Rift Valley of Kenya. The new species is compared with R. capensis, R. serranoi and R. jeanneli.
My thanks are due to Dr G. Theiler, Onderstepoort, who confirmed that R. hurticould be correctly regarded as a new species and has been most generous in her assistance. My thanks are also due to Dr Santos Dias and Dr Hoogstraal for their most helpful criticisms; to Lieut.-Col. Hurt for his interest and care in sending me numerous tick-collections from the Naivasha area of Kenya; to Mr Alex Wiley and Mr Guggesburg for their careful drawings; and to Miss Walker, E.A.V.R.O., and my colleague Mr Pollard, for their generous help at all times.
