Type host: Petauristae View in CoL lena kutchensis Hoogstraal & Trapido, 1963 , Haemaphysalis

Hoogstraal, H. & Trapido, H. (1963) Haemaphysalis kutchensis sp. n., a common larval and nymphal parasite of birds in northwestern India (Ixodoidea, Ixodidae ). Journal of Parasitology, 49, 489–497.

Type depositories: USNTC: holotype (male) and paratypes (males, females, nymphs and larvae) ; BMNH, FMNH, VRC, ZIAC? and ZSI: paratypes (males, females, nymphs and larvae)

Type locality: Kuar Bet , Kutch, State of Gujarat, India

Type host: a bird

Comments: Filippova (2008) did not list types of Haemaphysalis kutchensis deposited in ZIAC. The holotype specimen molted from an engorged nymph collected from the type host. Several specimens of Haemaphysalis bispinosa intermedia deposited in the BMNH were reclassified as Haemaphysalis kutchensis in the original description of this species.
