capensis Massey, 1908 , Boophilus

Massey, A.Y. (1908) Some ticks of Central Africa. Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 11, 70.

Current status: Boophilus capensis was treated as a synonym of Rhipicephalus decoloratus in Guglielmone & Nava (2014), but it is a name lacking both a description and figures, and thus a nomen nudum.
