本文所描述的喀什米尔血蜱（Haemaphysalis（Herpetobia）kashmirensis Hoogstraal）和Varma的若虫和幼虫的齿式分别为4/4和3/3。所有其他未成熟的血蜱，如果已知的，有2/2公式。H. kash-mirensis发生，可能是地方性的，在哈扎拉地区和斯瓦特州（巴基斯坦）和克什米尔（印度）的高地。在这些喜马拉雅山脉的西部边缘地带，蜱虫栖息在海拔5,000至10,000英尺的潮湿森林中。这里的冬天又长又冷。一种蜥蜴，Agama tuberculata，似乎是寄生虫和幼虫的主要宿主;单个寄生虫也记录在飞鼠、大鼠和小鼠身上。在夏季收集幼虫;在春季、夏季和秋季收集幼虫。到目前为止，只有在春季和秋季从绵羊和山羊身上采集到成虫。Herpetobia Canestrini复活并被定义为血蜱的一个亚属。除H. kashmirensis，该亚属包括H. sulcata Cane-strini和Fanzago（亚属模式种）; nepalensis Hoog-straal
The nymph and larva of Haemaphysalis (Herpetobia) kashmirensis Hoogstraal and Varma, which are described here, are remarkable for their dental formulae, which are 4/4 and 3/3, respectively. All other immature haemaphysalids, where known, have 2/2 formulae. H. kash-mirensis occurs, possibly endemically, in highlands of Hazara District and Swat State (Pakistan) and Kashmir (India). In these mountains, the western outliers of the Himalayan range, the tick inhabits humid forests between 5,000 and 10,000 ft in altitude. Winter here is long and severe. A lizard, Agama tuberculata, appears to be the chief host of nymphs and larvae; single nymphs are also recorded from a flying squirrel, rat, and mouse. Larvae were collected during the summer; nymphs during spring, summer, and autumn. Adults have thus far been taken only from sheep and goats during spring and autumn. Herpetobia Canestrini is resurrected and defined as a subgenus of Haemaphysalis. In addition to H. kashmirensis, this subgenus includes H. sulcata Cane-strini and Fanzago (type species of subgenus) and H. nepalensis Hoog-straal.
