Haemaphysalis (Garnhamphysalis) mjoebergi Warburton was reported from four male specimens from Sarawak, Borneo. We redescribe herein the male, from three specimens from Sarawak and 24 from Lampung District, Sumatra, and describe the female from 24 specimens from Lampung. Male structural variation in the dental formula and development of the coxa IV spur and segments of legs III and IV is unusual or unique in the genus Haemaphysalis. "Atypical" males might easily be misidentified. This species provides an ideal model for experimental study of population genetics and evolutionary processes and of biological factors influencing body size and structural variation in the genus Haemaphysalis. The sambar deer, Cervus unicolor brookei Hose (Sarawak) and C. unicolor equinus Cuvier (Sumatra), appears to be the chief host in humid, marshy, lowland forests and secondary growth. Single collections were from a human and a domestic cow. The dynamics and vector potential of this tick should be investigated in environments being exploited for human settlement and cattle breeding.
曾有报道称，在婆罗洲沙捞越采集到的四只雄性标本中发现了穆氏血蜱（Garnhamphysalis）mjoebergi Warburton。在此，我们重新描述了采自沙捞越的三只雄性标本以及苏门答腊楠榜地区的24只雄性标本，并描述了来自楠榜的24只雌性标本。血蜱属中，雄性在齿式、第四基节距的发育以及第三和第四对足各节上的结构变异是不寻常的或独特的。“非典型”雄性可能很容易被误认。该物种为研究血蜱属的群体遗传学、进化过程以及影响体型和结构变异的生物学因素提供了理想的实验模型。水鹿，即婆罗洲的泽鹿（Cervus unicolor brookei Hose）和苏门答腊的印度水鹿（C. unicolor equinus Cuvier），似乎是潮湿、沼泽化的低地森林及次生林中的主要宿主。仅有的两份非宿主采集记录分别来自人类和一头家牛。对于这种蜱虫在人类定居和养牛业所开发环境中的动态及传病潜力，应该展开调查。
