Rhipicephalus is a genus of tortoiseshell ticks with around 75 species, some of whichplay an important roleas disease carriers. Most of the species are found in Africa. The brown dog tick is widespread worldwide and, like Rhipicephalus bursa , also occurs in southern parts of Europe. The representatives of the former Boophilus genuswere alsointegrated intothe genus Rhipicephalus .
features
Adult representatives of the genus are 3 to 5 mm in size and reddish or dark brown in color. The base of the capitulum (the fused hips of the four pedipalps ) is hexagonal with pointed lateral appendages, which also gave it its name (Rhipicephalus means " fan head ", from ancient Greek rhiphis "fan-like" and cephalos "head"). The mouthparts are short, the palps are shorter than the base of the capitulum is wide. Eyes and garland-like posterior lobes ( festoons ) are present. The anal furrow is behind the anus. The hips of the first pair of legs have a long outer spur. Male adults have protruding adanal shields on the underside and accessory shields adjoining them laterally.
