Alloceraea is a genus of hard ticks.[1] Member species parasitise a wide variety of hosts, but particularly bovids, cervids and birds.[2] The genus is found in the Oriental and Nearctic zoogeographic regions, in tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf and conifer forests.[3] Formerly a subgenus of Haemaphysalis, the taxon was elevated to generic rank in 2024.[1]

- ^ While this fossilied specimen was characterised as a Haemaphysalis (Alloceraea), and is thusly included in Alloceraea, Kelava et al. (2024) make clear that the poor quality of the specimen prevents confident morphological association with Alloceraea, or even Haemaphysalis.
