Note: Rhipicephalus sanguineus is a complex of approximately 12 species distributed worldwide ( Dantas-Torres et al. 2013; Šlapeta et al. 2021); in America there are currently two species, i.e. Rhipicephalus sanguineus s.s. (“temperate lineage”) ( Nava et al. 2018) and Rhipicephalus linnaei (“tropical lineage”) ( Šlapeta et al. 2022). Both species have been reported in Mexico; however, until now R. sanguineus s.s. has been found in the northern states of Chihuahua and Sonora, in sympatry with R. linnaei (Sánchez-Montes et al. 2021; Almazán et al. 2023; Moo-Llanes et al., 2023). Except for the record from Ejido Santa Ana, most of the records were taken from literature, so new collections and new morphological and molecular studies are necessary to determine whether only one or both species are distributed in the state of Tamaulipas.
