25. Dermacentor nuttalli Olenev 1929c .

A Palearctic species whose adults are usually found on Artiodactyla (several families) and Perissodactyla : Equidae ; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from Erinaceomorpha : Erinaceidae , Lagomorpha : Leporidae , and Rodentia (several families), but all parasitic stages have been collected from Mammalia (several orders), while larvae and nymphs have been recovered from Aves (several orders). Dermacentor

nuttalli is a very frequent parasite of humans.

Note: Filippova and Panova (1985) recognize previous descriptions of larvae and nymphs of Dermacentor species present in Siberia and the Russian Far East but state that these are not useful for diagnostic purposes. Nevertheless, the descriptions of the larva and nymph of Dermacentor nuttalli by Reznik (1956, 1959) are treated as valid here. See Dermacentor marginatus for a discussion of the difficulties attending identification of species in the Dermacentor marginatus group, to which Dermacentor nuttalli belongs.
