  abstract = {{T}he {H}aemaphysalis genus ({A}cari, {I}xodidae) in {S}enegal is reviewed. {T}his embodies a summary of specimens collected from vertebrate hosts over three decades. 454 collections were performed over this period (408 from mammals and 46 from birds), representing a total of 5752 ticks in different developmental stages. {S}even {H}aemaphysalis spp. were collected, identified, and inventoried including: {H}. ({K}aiseriana) rugosa, {H}. ({O}rnithophysalis) hoodi, {H}. ({R}hipistoma) houyi, as well as four other species belonging to the leachi group, namely {H}. ({R}hipistoma) leachi, {H}. ({R}h.) moreli, {H}. ({R}h.) muhsamae and {H}. ({R}h.) spinulosa. {V}ertebrate hosts of {H}aemaphysalis species were identified and listed in different ecological zones of {S}enegal. {A}n identification key of the haemaphysalids of {S}enegal is proposed, which is also applicable to the haemaphysalid fauna of the {O}ccidental sub-region of the {A}frotropical zoogeographical region. {T}he role of these species as potential vectors of zoonotic diseases in {S}enegal is also discussed.},
