60. Ixodes cornutus Lotozky, 1956 View in CoL .

Palearctic: 1) Tajikistan ( Filippova 1977, Kolonin 2009).

Ixodes cornutus is treated as a synonym of Ixodes rugicollis by Camicas et al. (1998, under the name Pholeoixodes rugicollis ), an opinion supported by Hornok et al. (2017c), but Ixodes cornutus was regarded as valid in Filippova (1977) and Kolonin (2009). Guglielmone et al. (2010 b, 2014, 2015, 2020) treated Ixodes cornutus as provisionally valid, pending comparison of its type with that of Ixodes rugicollis .

The German record of Ixodes cornutus in Chitimia-Dobler & Dobler (2019) needs verification, and Germany is not included within the geographic distribution of this tick.
