title: Rhipicephalus interventus sp. nov. (Acari: Ixodidae), a new tick species closely related to Rhipicephalus tricuspis Dönitz, 1906 and Rhipicephalus Iunulatus Neumann, 1907, from east and central Africa.
abstract: Descriptions of the adults of this new species are given, together with information on its hosts and distribution. Previously it was referred to briefly by Walker, Keirans, pegram & Clifford (1988), who noted that in many respects it is intermediate in appearance between R. tricuspis and R. Iunulatus.
