Rhipicephalus hoogstraali is a tick found in Djibouti and Somalia.

[1] First recognized by Harry Hoogstraal as Rhipicephalus longicoxatus based on an incomplete published description, after discovery of the holotype of R. longicoxatus,[2] it was described and named to honor Hoogstraal in 2009.

[1] The specific epithet is not universally accepted as valid, because the species was not described according to the accepted rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

[3] Rhipicephalus hoogstraali parasitizes sheep, goats, camels, and cattle.
