Distribution and Hosts: Kohls ( 1957b) has listed the distribution and hosts of this species. It is widely distributed in the Far East and is known to occur in the fol- lowing areas: Indi;i, Bunna, Ceylon, Indonesia, Borneo, Malaya, Indochina, Formosa, the Philip- pines, and Japan. Hosts recorded by Sugimoto (1937a), Nakamura and Yajima (1937), and also by Kohls (1957b) are usually larger animals such as water buffalo, horse, cow, wild boar, wild pig. goat, dog, tiger, rhinoceros, deer, tapir, and human.

BlOLOCY: According to Anastos (1950) all stages in the life cycle are known, and this tick occurs on a wide variety of wild as well as domestic ani- mals. One of the unengorged females collected by 4()6th laboratory personnel from Amami Oshima was placed on a rabbit's ear in the hiboratory on 6 November 1967, fed for a week, and increased in size to 23 mm in length and 21 mm in width. After engorgement this tick died on 26 November 1967 without laying eggs. Disease Relationship: "Krijgsman and Ponto (1932) stated that this species transmits piroplasmosis and anaplas- mosis, and Sharif () considered this species as a possible disease vector" (Anastos, 1950). In Japan, however, its disease transmission capa- bility is not known. Japanese workers have re- ported that it attacks humans.
