Popis:	The female, male, nymph, and larva of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) subterra sp. n. are described. This species is a small-sized member of the H. leachi group with 3/3 dental formula, curving ventral spurs on palpal segment 3, and a moderately punctated scutum. It is recorded from Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Zaire, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Hosts of adults are carnivores [Herpestes sanguineus (Ruppell), H. ichneumon (Linnaeus), Ichneumia albicauda (Cuvier), Mungos mungo (Gmelin), Atilax paludinosus (Cuvier), Genetta maculata (Gray)], while immatures are collected chiefly from rodents [Aethomys chrysophilus (De Winton), Tachyoryctes splendens Ruppell, Praomys natalensis (Smith)]. One nymph was collected from H. sanguineus, a carnivore, in Zimbabwe.
