Redescriptions

M: Heath and Palma (2017)

F: Dumbleton (1953), Roberts (1960), Heath and Palma (2017)

N: Nuttall and Warburton (1911), under the name Ixodes neumanni , a synonym of Ixodes eudyptidis, Roberts (1960) , Heath and Palma (2017)

L: Heath and Palma (2017); see note below

Note: Roberts (1960) and Sénevet and Ripert (1967a) redescribed the larva of Ixodes eudyptidis using morphological characters given in Dumbleton (1953), but the latter author in fact described the larva of Ixodes laridis , as explained in Heath and Palma (2017). Cooley and Kohls (1945) erroneously treat Ixodes eudyptidis as a synonym of Ixodes uriae . See also Ixodes percavatus for its confusion with Ixodes eudyptidis .
