Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) galidiae n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described herein based on males and a single female. Adults of H. galidiae n. sp. were collected from the ring-tailed vontsira, Galidia elegans Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire (Carnivora: Eupleridae) on Madagascar. Males and the single female of this new species morphologically are most close to H. obtusa Dönitz, 1910, known from various Malagasy euplerid carnivorans, including G. elegans, as well as introduced carnivorans, but can be differentiated from it by the shape of the female genital aperture, shape of posterolateral margin of palpal segment II ventrally in both male and female and shape and size of spurs on palpal segment II, coxa I and trochanter I in both sexes.
本文基于雄性和 1 只雌性描述了来自马达加斯加长尾缟狸（Galidia elegans Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire）的血革螨属（Rhipistoma）加拉氏革螨（Haemaphysalis galidiae）新种（蜱螨目：硬蜱科）。这种新种的雄性和雌性成虫在形态上与已知分布于各种马达加斯加缟狸科食肉动物，包括长尾缟狸，以及引入的食肉动物的钝革螨（Haemaphysalis obtusa Dönitz, 1910）最为接近，但可以通过雌性生殖器开口的形状、雄性和雌性第 2 对腿节腹侧后外侧缘的形状、第 2 对腿节、第 1 对股节和第 1 对转节上的刺的形状和大小来区分。
