Argas pusillus Kohls, 1950

This poorly studied bat tick occurs in the Australasian, Oriental and Palearctic Regions (Camicas et al. 1998). It was first described by Kohls (1950) from the Philippines and has since been recorded from the ceiling of a house in peninsular Malaysia (Audy et al. 1960), and from bats in Singapore (Leong et al. 2010) and Thailand (Uchikawa and Kobayashi 1978). Heath (2012) provides a table comparing the morphometrics of A. pusillus with other species from the Oriental and Australasian Regions.

Descriptions of the male and larva are available in Kohls (1950).
