Note: there are redescriptions of the female and nymph of Ixodes venezuelensis in Vogelsang and Santos Dias (1953b) , but Méndez-Arocha and Ortiz (1958) noted some controversial morphological characters in the redescription of the female, and we have therefore decided not to include the redescriptions of this tick by the former authors.
