棕色犬蜱（Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto）是一种具有相当大的公共卫生和经济重要性的物种。然而，该物种的分类地位还远未确定。经过 110 多年对 R. sanguineus s.s. 的科学研究，情况是没有类型，没有可靠的描述，对于物种内形态变异的范围也没有达成共识。基于实验室杂交和分子遗传学的最新发现强烈表明，存在多个同名实体。在这里，我们回顾了该分类单元的历史，并指出了对该蜱进行进一步研究背后的注意事项。 R. sanguineus s.s. 目前的分类地位因此缺乏信息丰富的原始描述，并且基于来自不同种群的蜱的几种形态学描述的存在，这些形态学描述在某些情况下显示出生物不相容性和显着的遗传差异。我们建议，因此不可能指定具体名称 R. sanguineus s.s.。对任何人群。需要根据《国际动物命名法典》发布的规则开展进一步的工作，以明确定义不同种群的形态范围。 (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu stricto, is a species with considerable public health and economic importance. However, the taxonomic status of this species is far from resolved. After more than 110 years of scientific work on R. sanguineus s.s., the situation is that there is no type, no solid description, nor is there a consensus about the range of morphological variability within the species. Recent findings based on laboratory crosses and molecular genetics strongly suggest that there are several entities grouped under the same name. Here we review the history of the taxon, and we point out the caveats behind any further work on this tick. The current taxonomic status of R. sanguineus s.s. thus lacks an informative original description, and is based on the existence of several morphological descriptions based on ticks originating from different populations, which show, in some cases, biological incompatibility and significant genetic divergence. We suggests that as a result it is not possible to assign the specific name R. sanguineus s.s. to any population. Further work is required based on the rules issued by the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature to clearly define the morphological range of the different populations. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
