直到最近，已知只有两种血蜱，血蜱血蜱（Packard，1869）和兔血蜱（Packard，1869）存在于美国，并且这两种血蜱都不被认为具有重要的医学或兽医重要性。 2017-2018 年，首次在美国东部发现了亚洲长角蜱（Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, 1901）的定居种群。长角血蜱有可能对人类和动物健康构成重大威胁，迫切需要确定其分布范围和宿主范围的全部范围，需要提供简单实用的指南来将其与本地物种区分开来。我们为血蜱属的所有阶段创建了一个图形二分键。通过扫描电子显微照片拍摄了长角长角蜥的所有生命阶段（包括罕见的雄性），以帮助研究人员区分这些物种。主要是新热带物种 Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley，1946 年，在墨西哥已有种群，在美国也有零星发现的候鸟。
Until recently, only two haemaphysaline species, Haemaphysalis chordeilis (Packard, 1869) and Haemaphysalis leporispalustris (Packard, 1869), were known to occur in the United States, and neither was considered to be of significant medical or veterinary importance. In 2017-2018 established populations of the Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, 1901, were detected in the eastern US for the first time. Haemaphysalis longicornis has the potential to be a significant threat to human and animal health, and the urgent need to determine the full extent of its distribution and host range requires availability of a straightforward and practical guide to differentiate it from native species. We created a pictorial dichotomous key to all stages of Haemaphysalis spp. known to occur in North America with scanning electron photomicrographs of all H. longicornis life stages, including rarely seen males, to aid researchers in differentiating these species. The largely Neotropical species Haemaphysalis juxtakochi Cooley, 1946, with established populations in Mexico and sporadic detections in the US on migrating birds is also included.
