The relict tick Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) has high medical and veterinary importance as it is known as a vector or a carrier of various pathogens causing human and animal diseases. Haemaphysalis concinna is a widely distributed species in forests of temperate Eurasia. In Europe, it is found mainly in deciduous or mixed forests near shores of lakes or rivers. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about current distribution, relative density, and other ecological parameters of H. concinna. On June 30th, 2019, one specimen of H. concinna was found on the fur of a hunted roe deer in Lithuania. This is the first record of H. concinna in Lithuania and, to the best of our knowledge, it represents the northernmost distribution point of H. concinna in Europe (22°55'26.5"E/ 55°27'50.7"N).
残遗蜱属 Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, 1844（蜱螨目：硬蜱科）具有重要的医学和兽医学意义，因为它是已知的多种病原体的载体或携带者，这些病原体可导致人类和动物疾病。Haemaphysalis concinna 是分布于欧亚大陆温带森林中的一种广泛分布的物种。在欧洲，它主要分布在湖泊或河流附近的落叶林或混合林中。然而，目前关于 H. concinna 的分布、相对密度和其他生态参数的知识仍然缺乏。2019 年 6 月 30 日，在立陶宛一只被猎杀的狍子的皮毛上发现了一个 Haemaphysalis concinna 的标本。这是在立陶宛首次发现 H. concinna，据我们所知，它代表了 H. concinna 在欧洲最北的分布点（22°55'26.5"E/ 55°27'50.7"N）。
