It is very probablethat this and other records of the occurrence of this tick in the Cen-tral States are based upon specimens introduced into that region, theinfestation being only temporary. A careful study of the normaldistribution of the species in Texas shows that the limit o( its easternrange practically coincides with the division between the LowerSonoran and Austroriparian faunas.
