Ixodidae View in CoL View at ENA
We exclude the following names from our list of Ixodidae :
(i) Amblyomma laticaudae Warburton, 1933 is considered valid in Camicas et al. (1998), Horak et al. (2002) and Barker and Murrell (2008); Guglielmone et al. (2009) do not include it in their list of controversial names, while Kolonin (2009) considers this name a synonym of Amblyomma nitidum Hirst and Hirst, 1910 . In fact, Keirans, in Voltzit and Keirans (2002), determined that the types of these taxa are conspecific. Therefore, we agree with Kolonin (2009) that A. laticaudae is an invalid name.
(ii) Bothriocroton decorosum (Koch, 1867) is included as a member of Aponomma by Kolonin (2009), but this name is a synonym of B. undatum , as explained in Santos Dias (1993).
(iii) Haemaphysalis vietnamensis Hoogstraal and Wilson, 1966 is included as a valid name in Kolonin (2009), but it is a synonym of H. colasbelcouri (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
(iv) Haemaphysalis xinjiangensis Teng, 1980 is not included as a valid species in Kolonin (2009). Teng and Jiang (1981) consider this name a synonym of H. danieli , and we accept their decision, since the senior author also described H. xinjiangensis .
(v) Hyalomma erythraeum Tonelli-Rondelli, 1932 is included as a valid name in Kolonin (2009), but it was convincingly shown to be a synonym of H. impeltatum by Apanaskevich and Horak (2009).
(vi) Rhipicephalus hoogstraali Kolonin, 2009 was described on the Internet, contrary to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 2009, Articles 8.6 and 9.8), and is therefore a nomen nudum.
1. Amblyomma albolimbatum Neumann, 1907
2. Amblyomma albopictum Neumann, 1899
3. Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus, 1758)
4. Amblyomma antillorum Kohls, 1969
5. Amblyomma arcanum Karsch, 1879 (Aponomma)
6. Amblyomma argentinae Neumann, 1905 . Guglielmone et al. (2003) stated that the year of description for A. argentinae is 1904, but this is in error because Neumann recognized 1905 as the correct year. Previously, this species was incorrectly named A. testudinis (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
7. Amblyomma astrion Dönitz, 1909
8. Amblyomma aureolatum (Pallas, 1772)
9. Amblyomma auricularium (Conil, 1878)
10. Amblyomma australiense Neumann, 1905 . See A. echidnae .
11. Amblyomma babirussae Schulze, 1933
12. Amblyomma beaurepairei Vogelsang and Santos Dias, 1953 . This species is close to A. inornatum and A. auricularium but is provisionally considered valid in Guglielmone et al. (2009). However, Kolonin (2009) considers it a synonym of A. auricularium .
13. Amblyomma boeroi Nava, Mangold, Mastropaolo, Venzal, Oscherov and Guglielmone, 2009
14. Amblyomma boulengeri Hirst and Hirst, 1910
15. Amblyomma brasiliense Aragão, 1908
16. Amblyomma breviscutatum Neumann, 1899 . Until recently, this species was known as A. cyprium Neumann, 1899 (Guglielmone et al. 2009) , a name still considered valid in Kolonin (2009), who does not justify his position. However, Keirans, in Voltzit and Keirans (2002), determined, as had Santos Dias (1956) before him, that the types of A. cyprium and A. breviscutatum are conspecific and that the latter name has page priority.
17. Amblyomma cajennense (Fabricius, 1787) . This is the type species of the genus Amblyomma ; it was originally named Acarus cajennensis . Beati, L. and Nava, S. (pers. comm.) believe that A. cajennense comprises a complex of sibling species.
18. Amblyomma calabyi Roberts, 1963
19. Amblyomma calcaratum Neumann, 1899
20. Amblyomma chabaudi Rageau, 1964
21. Amblyomma clypeolatum Neumann, 1899
22. Amblyomma coelebs Neumann, 1899
23. Amblyomma cohaerens Dönitz, 1909
24. Amblyomma compressum (Macalister, 1872)
25. Amblyomma cordiferum Neumann, 1899
26. Amblyomma crassipes (Neumann, 1901) (Aponomma) . This species is similar to A. fuscolineatum but is provisionally considered valid because little material is available for examination and the types have not been compared (Guglielmone et al. 2009). Kolonin (2009), using the name Aponomma , considers A. crassipes invalid but does not include a comparison of types.
27. Amblyomma crassum Robinson, 1926
28. Amblyomma crenatum Neumann, 1899
29. Amblyomma cruciferum Neumann, 1901
30. Amblyomma darwini Hirst and Hirst, 1910
31. Amblyomma dissimile Koch, 1844 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) argue in favor of this name instead of A. bibroni (Gervais, 1842) because of the confused history of the latter taxon.
32. Amblyomma dubitatum Neumann, 1899 . Until recently, this species was known as A. cooperi Nuttall and Warburton, 1908 (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
33. Amblyomma eburneum Gerstäcker, 1873
34. Amblyomma echidnae Roberts, 1953 . This species is very similar to A. australiense , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) consider A. echidnae provisionally valid until its status can be clarified. Kolonin (2009) does not include this species in his list of the Ixodidae of the world.
35. Amblyomma elaphense (Price, 1959) (Aponomma) . See A. sphenodonti .
36. Amblyomma exornatum Koch, 1844 (Aponomma)
37. Amblyomma extraoculatum Neumann, 1899 . See A. romitii .
38. Amblyomma falsomarmoreum Tonelli-Rondelli, 1935
39. Amblyomma fimbriatum Koch, 1844 (Aponomma)
40. Amblyomma flavomaculatum (Lucas, 1846) (Aponomma) . See A. inopinatum .
41. Amblyomma fulvum Neumann, 1899
42. Amblyomma fuscolineatum (Lucas, 1847) (Aponomma) . See A. crassipes and A. varanense .
43. Amblyomma fuscum Neumann, 1907 . A valid taxon ignored in some lists of ticks (Guglielmone et al. 2009).
44. Amblyomma geayi Neumann, 1899 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) discuss the lack of agreement concerning this name, because some authors regard A. geayi as a synonym of A. perpunctatum (Packard, 1869) . However, the description of the latter taxon is inadequate, and we therefore consider the name A. geayi valid, pending type comparison.
45. Amblyomma gemma Dönitz, 1909
46. Amblyomma geochelone Durden, Keirans and Smith, 2002
47. Amblyomma geoemydae (Cantor, 1847)
48. Amblyomma gervaisi (Lucas, 1847) (Aponomma) . This is the type species of the genus Aponomma ; it was originally named Ixodes gervaisii .
49. Amblyomma glauerti Keirans, King and Sharrad, 1994
50. Amblyomma goeldii Neumann, 1899
51. Amblyomma hainanense Teng, 1981 . Kolonin (2009) considers A. hainanense a synonym of A. helvolum , but no comparison of types has been attempted. Therefore, we treat A. hainanense as tentatively valid.
52. Amblyomma hebraeum Koch, 1844
53. Amblyomma helvolum Koch, 1844
54. Amblyomma hirtum Neumann, 1906
55. Amblyomma humerale Koch, 1844
56. Amblyomma imitator Kohls, 1958
57. Amblyomma incisum Neumann, 1906 . See A. latepunctatum .
58. Amblyomma inopinatum (Santos Dias, 1989) (Aponomma) . This species is not included in Kolonin (2009), who appears to consider it a synonym of A. flavomaculatum and places it in the genus Aponomma .
59. Amblyomma inornatum (Banks, 1909)
60. Amblyomma integrum Karsch, 1879
61. Amblyomma javanense (Supino, 1897)
62. Amblyomma komodoense (Oudemans, 1928) (Aponomma)
63. Amblyomma kraneveldi (Anastos, 1956) (Aponomma)
64. Amblyomma latepunctatum Tonelli-Rondelli, 1939 . This species was previously confused with A. incisum and with A. scalpturatum (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
65. Amblyomma latum Koch, 1844 (Aponomma)
66. Amblyomma lepidum Dönitz, 1909
67. Amblyomma limbatum Neumann, 1899
68. Amblyomma loculosum Neumann, 1907
69. Amblyomma longirostre (Koch, 1844)
70. Amblyomma macfarlandi Keirans, Hoogstraal and Clifford, 1973
71. Amblyomma macropi Roberts, 1953
72. Amblyomma maculatum Koch, 1844
73. Amblyomma marmoreum Koch, 1844
74. Amblyomma moreliae (Koch, 1867)
75. Amblyomma moyi Roberts, 1953
76. Amblyomma multipunctum Neumann, 1899
77. Amblyomma naponense (Packard, 1869)
78. Amblyomma neumanni Ribaga, 1902 . Nava et al. (2009a) state that the description by Voltzit (2007) of A. neumanni actually applies to A. parvitarsum .
79. Amblyomma nitidum Hirst and Hirst, 1910 . See paragraph “i” above our list of Ixodidae .
80. Amblyomma nodosum Neumann, 1899
81. Amblyomma nuttalli Dönitz, 1909
82. Amblyomma oblongoguttatum Koch, 1844
83. Amblyomma orlovi (Kolonin, 1992) (Aponomma) . This species is considered tentatively valid in Guglielmone et al. (2009), who nonetheless strongly suggest that it is a synonym of A. transversale . Guglielmone et al. (2009) err in listing the date of description as 1995.
84. Amblyomma ovale Koch, 1844
85. Amblyomma pacae Aragão, 1911
86. Amblyomma papuanum Hirst, 1914
87. Amblyomma parkeri Fonseca and Aragão, 1952. Kolonin (2009) expresses doubt about the status of this species, but Labruna et al. (2009a) present sound evidence for its validity.
88. Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann, 1901 . See A. neumanni .
89. Amblyomma parvum Aragão, 1908
90. Amblyomma pattoni (Neumann, 1910) (Aponomma)
91. Amblyomma paulopunctatum Neumann, 1899
92. Amblyomma pecarium Dunn, 1933
93. Amblyomma personatum Neumann, 1901
94. Amblyomma pictum Neumann, 1906
95. Amblyomma pilosum Neumann, 1899
96. Amblyomma pomposum Dönitz, 1909
97. Amblyomma postoculatum Neumann, 1899
98. Amblyomma pseudoconcolor Aragão, 1908
99. Amblyomma pseudoparvum Guglielmone, Mangold and Keirans, 1990
100. Amblyomma quadricavum (Schulze, 1941)
101. Amblyomma rhinocerotis (de Geer, 1778)
102. Amblyomma robinsoni Warburton, 1927
103. Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli, 1939 . This species was previously considered a synonym of A. extraoculatum (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
104. Amblyomma rotundatum Koch, 1844
105. Amblyomma sabanerae Stoll, 1894
106. Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann, 1906 . See A. latepunctatum .
107. Amblyomma scutatum Neumann, 1899
108. Amblyomma soembawense (Anastos, 1956) (Aponomma)
109. Amblyomma sparsum Neumann, 1899
110. Amblyomma sphenodonti (Dumbleton, 1943) (Aponomma) . Miller et al. (2007) believe that this species, and possibly A. elaphense , should be classified in a genus other than Amblyomma .
111. Amblyomma splendidum Giebel, 1877
112. Amblyomma squamosum Kohls, 1953
113. Amblyomma supinoi Neumann, 1904
114. Amblyomma sylvaticum (de Geer, 1778)

117. Amblyomma tholloni Neumann, 1899
118. Amblyomma tigrinum Koch, 1844
119. Amblyomma torrei Pérez Vigueras, 1934
120. Amblyomma transversale ( Lucas, 1845) (Aponomma) . Most authors consider 1844 the year of description of A. transversale , but the name Ixodes transversalis in Lucas (1844) lacks a description (i.e., it is a nomen nudum), and this situation was amended in Lucas (1845). See A. orlovi .
121. Amblyomma triguttatum Koch, 1844
122. Amblyomma trimaculatum (Lucas, 1878) (Aponomma)
123. Amblyomma triste Koch, 1844
124. Amblyomma tuberculatum Marx, 1894
125. Amblyomma usingeri Keirans, Hoogstraal and Clifford, 1973
126. Amblyomma varanense (Supino, 1897) (Aponomma) . Kolonin (2009) considers A. varanense a synonym of A. fuscolineatum (both are treated as species of Aponomma ) but without presenting evidence. We believe A. varanense to be valid.
127. Amblyomma variegatum (Fabricius, 1794)
128. Amblyomma varium Koch, 1844
129. Amblyomma vikirri Keirans, Bull and Duffield, 1996
130. Amblyomma williamsi Banks, 1924
1. Anomalohimalaya cricetuli Teng and Huang, 1981 . Deng et al. (1999) consider this species a synonym of A. lotozkyi but without explanation. We therefore maintain the validity of A. cricetuli . 2. Anomalohimalaya lamai Hoogstraal, Kaiser and Mitchell, 1970 . This is the type species of the genus Anomalohimalaya .
3. Anomalohimalaya lotozkyi Filippova and Panova, 1978 . See A. cricetuli .
1. Bothriocroton auruginans (Schulze, 1936) (Aponomma)
2. Bothriocroton concolor (Neumann, 1899) (Aponomma) . See B. oudemansi .
3. Bothriocroton glebopalma (Keirans, King and Sharrad, 1994) (Aponomma) . This is the type species of the genus Bothriocroton , by original designation ( Klompen et al. 2002); it was originally named Aponomma glebopalma .
4. Bothriocroton hydrosauri (Denny, 1843) (Aponomma) . See B. tachyglossi .
5. Bothriocroton oudemansi (Neumann, 1910) (Aponomma) . This species was considered a synonym of B. concolor , but there is now sound scientific evidence for its validity as a species (Guglielmone et al. 2009).
6. Bothriocroton tachyglossi (Roberts, 1953) (Aponomma) . This species was considered a synonym of B. hydrosauri , but there is now convincing evidence for its validity (Guglielmone et al. 2009).
7. Bothriocroton undatum (Fabricius, 1775) (Aponomma) . This name is considered invalid by Kolonin (2009). See B. decorosum , paragraph “ii” above our list of Ixodidae .
1. Compluriscutula vetulum Poinar and Buckley, 2008 . This is the type species of the fossil genus Compluriscutula . It is not included in the list of Kolonin (2009).
1. Cornupalpatum burmanicum Poinar and Brown, 2003 . This is the type species of the fossil genus Cornupalpatum . It is not included in the list of Kolonin (2009).
2. Cosmiomma hippopotamensis (Denny, 1843) . This is the type species of the monotypic genus Cosmiomma . It was originally named Ixodes hippopotamensis .
1. Dermacentor abaensis Teng, 1963 . This species is similar to D. everestianus but is provisionally considered valid in Guglielmone et al. (2009) because there has been no definitive study to support this synonymy. One of us (DAA) is currently comparing the types of D. abaensis , D. everestianus and D. birulai Olenev, 1927 . Therefore, additional information on the specific status of these taxa should be forthcoming.
2. Dermacentor albipictus (Packard, 1869)
3. Dermacentor andersoni Stiles, 1908
4. Dermacentor asper Arthur, 1960 . Kolonin (2009) considers D. asper a probable synonym of D. sinicus but presents no evidence for this statement.
5. Dermacentor atrosignatus Neumann, 1906
6. Dermacentor auratus Supino, 1897
7. Dermacentor circumguttatus Neumann, 1897
8. Dermacentor compactus Neumann, 1901
9. Dermacentor confragus (Schulze, 1933) . Originally spelled confractus, the name was later corrected to confragus . The type specimens are currently being examined by one of us (TNP). We consider this name valid until studies of the type material permit a conclusive statement. Kolonin (2009) excludes this name from his list of ixodid ticks of the world.
10. Dermacentor dispar Cooley, 1937
11. Dermacentor dissimilis, Cooley 1947
12. Dermacentor everestianus Hirst, 1926 . See D. abaensis .
13. Dermacentor halli McIntosh, 1931
14. Dermacentor hunteri Bishopp, 1912
15. Dermacentor imitans Warburton, 1933
16. Dermacentor latus Cooley, 1937
17. Dermacentor marginatus (Sulzer, 1776) . See D. niveus and D. ushakovae .
18. Dermacentor montanus Filippova and Panova, 1974
19. Dermacentor nitens Neumann, 1897 (Anocentor) . This is the type species of the genus Anocentor .
20. Dermacentor niveus Neumann, 1897 . Kolonin (2009) lists this species as a synonym of D. daghestanicus Olenev, 1928 , but, in fact, the latter name is a junior synonym of D. niveus (Guglielmone et al. 2009) . Estrada-Peña and Estrada-Peña (1991) examined part of the syntype series of D. niveus (Cherestanek, Iran, ex Ovis aries, 1882 , loaned by Prof. P.-C. Morel), concluding that this species is conspecific with D. marginatus , a view shared by Moshaverinia et al. (2009). A wider comparative study of D. marginatus , D. niveus and D. ushakovae appears to be needed to further demonstrate the validity of these taxa. We consider D. niveus provisionally valid while awaiting the results of this comparison. See also D. ushakovae .
21. Dermacentor nuttalli Olenev, 1928
22. Dermacentor occidentalis Marx, 1892
23. Dermacentor parumapertus Neumann, 1901
24. Dermacentor pavlovskyi Olenev, 1927
25. Dermacentor pomerantzevi Serdjukova, 1951
26. Dermacentor raskemensis Pomerantzev, 1946
27. Dermacentor reticulatus (Fabricius, 1794) . This is the type species of the genus Dermacentor . It was originally named Acarus reticulatus .
28. Dermacentor rhinocerinus (Denny, 1843)
29. Dermacentor silvarum Olenev, 1931
30. Dermacentor sinicus Schulze, 1932 . See D. asper .
31. Dermacentor steini (Schulze, 1933)
32. Dermacentor taiwanensis Sugimoto, 1935
33. Dermacentor ushakovae Filippova and Panova, 1987 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) state that Camicas et al. (1998) consider D. ushakovae a junior synonym of D. niveus , while one of us (AEP) regards this species as a junior synonym of D. marginatus . However, we have elected to recognize the validity of D. ushakovae until type comparisons clarify its status. See also D. niveus .
34. Dermacentor variabilis (Say, 1821)
1. Haemaphysalis aborensis Warburton, 1913
2. Haemaphysalis aciculifer Warburton, 1913
3. Haemaphysalis aculeata Lavarra, 1904
4. Haemaphysalis adleri Feldman-Muhsam, 1951
5. Haemaphysalis anomala Warburton, 1913
6. Haemaphysalis anomaloceraea Teng, 1984 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) state that Camicas et al. (1998) consider this species a synonym of H. shimoga , but we continue to treat it as valid because there are no published grounds for synonymization. Kolonin (2009) considers both taxa ( H. anomaloceraea and H. shimoga ) to be synonyms of H. taiwana but presents no justification for this position.
7. Haemaphysalis anoplos Hoogstraal, Uilenberg and Klein, 1967
8. Haemaphysalis aponommoides Warburton, 1913
9. Haemaphysalis asiatica (Supino, 1897)

26. Haemaphysalis chordeilis (Packard, 1869)
27. Haemaphysalis cinnabarina Koch, 1844 . This species is not included in Kolonin´s (2009) list of ixodid ticks.
28. Haemaphysalis colasbelcouri (Santos Dias, 1958) . Originally named Aponomma colasbelcouri Santos Dias, 1958 , this species is the senior synonym of H. vietnamensis (see H. vietnamensis , paragraph “iii” above our list of Ixodidae ) (Guglielmone et al. 2009).
29. Haemaphysalis colesbergensis Apanaskevich and Horak, 2008 . This species is not included in Kolonin´s (2009) list of ixodid ticks.
30. Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, 1844 . This is the type species of the genus Haemaphysalis . See also H. filippovae .
31. Haemaphysalis cooleyi Bedford, 1929
32. Haemaphysalis cornigera Neumann, 1897
33. Haemaphysalis cornupunctata Hoogstraal and Varma, 1962
34. Haemaphysalis cuspidata Warburton, 1910
35. Haemaphysalis dangi Phan Trong, 1977
36. Haemaphysalis danieli Č erný and Hoogstraal, 1977. See paragraph “iv” above our list of Ixodidae . Kolonin (2009) considers specimens of this taxon from China a synonym of H. pospelovashtromae but provides no supporting evidence.
37. Haemaphysalis darjeeling Hoogstraal and Dhanda, 1970
38. Haemaphysalis davisi Hoogstraal, Dhanda and Bhat, 1970
39. Haemaphysalis demidovae Emel ´yanova, 1978
40. Haemaphysalis doenitzi Warburton and Nuttall, 1909 . See H. pavlovskyi and H. phasiana .
41. Haemaphysalis elliptica (Koch, 1844)
42. Haemaphysalis elongata Neumann, 1897
43. Haemaphysalis erinacei Pavesi, 1884
44. Haemaphysalis eupleres Hoogstraal, Kohls and Trapido, 1965
45. Haemaphysalis filippovae Bolotin, 1979 . Although Kolonin (2009) considers H. filippovae a synonym of H. concinna, Guglielmone et al. (2009) provide strong arguments for supporting the validity of this taxon.
46. Haemaphysalis flava Neumann, 1897
47. Haemaphysalis formosensis Neumann, 1913
48. Haemaphysalis fossae Hoogstraal, 1953
49. Haemaphysalis fujisana Kitaoka, 1970

74. Haemaphysalis kitaokai Hoogstraal, 1969
75. Haemaphysalis knobigera Prakasan and Ramani, 2007 . The original description of this species is very poor and we strongly doubt its validity (Guglielmone et al. 2009), but we include it here pending further studies.

1. Hyalomma aegyptium (Linnaeus, 1758) . This is the type species of the genus Hyalomma , as discussed in Filippova (1984). It was originally named Acarus aegyptius . See also H. dromedarii .
2. Hyalomma albiparmatum Schulze, 1919 . Apanaskevich & Horak (2008) consider H. albiparmatum a valid species but did not discount the possibility that it may be conspecific with H. truncatum . See also H. nitidum .
3. Hyalomma anatolicum Koch, 1844 . See H. excavatum .
4. Hyalomma arabica Pegram, Hoogstraal and Wassef, 1982
5. Hyalomma asiaticum Schulze and Schlottke, 1930
6. Hyalomma brevipunctata Sharif, 1928
7. Hyalomma dromedarii Koch, 1844 . This is the type species of the genus Hyalomma in Camicas et al. (1998), but we agree with Filippova (1984), who considers H. aegyptium to be the type.
8. Hyalomma excavatum Koch, 1844 . This species was previously classified as a subspecies of H. anatolicum (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .
9. Hyalomma franchinii Tonelli-Rondelli, 1932 .
10. Hyalomma glabrum Delpy, 1949 . This name was until recently considered a synonym of H. turanicum (Guglielmone et al. 2009) .

23. Hyalomma schulzei Olenev, 1931
24. Hyalomma scupense Schulze, 1919 . Until recently, this species was known as H. detritum Schulze, 1919 by many Western workers. Because this is an economically important tick, Guglielmone et al. (2009) proposed referring to it as H. scupense (= H. detritum ) in order to avoid confusion.
25. Hyalomma somalicum Tonelli-Rondelli, 1935 . This taxon was recently resurrected by Apanaskevich and Horak (2009).
26. Hyalomma truncatum Koch, 1844 . See H. albiparmatum and H. nitidum .
27. Hyalomma turanicum Pomerantzev, 1946 . This species was previously classified as a subspecies of H. marginatum (Guglielmone et al. 2009) . Kolonin (2009) excludes H. turanicum from his list of ixodid ticks of the world.
1. Ixodes abrocomae Lahille, 1916 . Some authors have listed the year 1916 for Lahille´s original description of Ixodes abrocomae , while others have used the year 1917. An inquiry to the U.S Library of Congress failed to resolve the problem. A request to the Sociedad Chilena de Biología (publisher of Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, where the description of I. abrocomae appeared) was not answered. We consider 1916 as the year of description of I. abrocomae . See also I. sigelos .

8. Ixodes amersoni Kohls, 1966
9. Ixodes anatis Chilton, 1904 . Some authors consider the name of this species to be I. apteridis Maskell, 1897 , a nomen nudum (Guglielmone et al. 2009).

12. Ixodes antechini Roberts, 1960
13. Ixodes apronophorus Schulze, 1924
14. Ixodes arabukiensis Arthur, 1959 . This species is very similar to I. djaronensis , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) consider it valid pending a comparison of types. Kolonin (2009) excludes I. arabukiensis from his list of Ixodidae .

27. Ixodes bequaerti Cooley and Kohls, 1945
28. Ixodes berlesei Birula, 1895
29. Ixodes bivari Santos Dias, 1990 . Kolonin (2009) does not include I. bivari in his list; apparently he regards this name as a synonym of I. ventalloi . One of us (AEP) examined the types of I. bivari and found that they differ from I. ventalloi , especially in the morphology of the basis capituli. Therefore, we treat I. bivari as valid.
30. Ixodes boliviensis Neumann, 1904 . This species is very similar to I. diversifossus , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) consider it valid pending a comparison of types.

35. Ixodes calcarhebes Arthur and Zulu, 1980
36. Ixodes caledonicus Nuttall, 1910
37. Ixodes canisuga Johnston, 1849 . Teng and Jiang (1991) and Kolonin (2009) consider I. canisuga a synonym of I. crenulatus but provide no supporting evidence; we therefore have retained I. canisuga as valid.

53. Ixodes cornuatus Roberts, 1960
54. Ixodes cornutus Lotozky, 1956 . Camicas et al. (1998) consider I. cornutus a synonym of I. rugicollis , although Filippova (1977) redescribed I. cornutus as valid. We treat this species as tentatively valid, pending type comparison with I. rugicollis .

80. Ixodes festai Tonelli-Rondelli, 1926
81. Ixodes filippovae Č erný, 1961. Kolonin (2009) does not include this species in his list of ixodid ticks of the world. He is probably following Filippova (1977), who considers I. filippovae a synonym of I. crenulatus . In fact, the status of I. filippovae is questionable and we list this species as provisionally valid while awaiting further studies.

172. Ixodes pilosus Koch, 1844 . McKay (1994) considers that there are three species under the name I. pilosus . Two of us (DAA and IGH) and co-workers are currently studying I. pilosus and its alleged sibling species.
173. Ixodes pomerantzevi Serdjukova, 1941 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) asserted that the spelling pomeranzevi was correct. However, Pomerantzev (1950) amended the spelling pomeranzevi to pomerantzevi , the valid name for this species.
174. Ixodes pomerantzi Kohls, 1956
175. Ixodes priscicollaris Schulze, 1932
176. Ixodes procaviae Arthur and Burrow, 1957
177. Ixodes prokopjevi (Emel´yanova, 1979). Kolonin (2009) appears to consider this species a likely synonym of I. crenulatus , but we find no reason to declare I. prokopjevi invalid.
178. Ixodes radfordi Kohls, 1948
179. Ixodes rageaui Arthur, 1958

181. Ixodes rasus Neumann, 1899
182. Ixodes redikorzevi Olenev, 1927 . Kolonin (2009) considers this species a synonym of I. acuminatus , but we regard it as provisionally valid.
183. Ixodes rhabdomysae Arthur, 1959

190. Ixodes rugosus Bishopp, 1911
191. Ixodes sachalinensis Filippova, 1971 . Kolonin (2009) considers I. sachalinensis a synonym of I. persulcatus , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) have found no evidence to support this position.

197. Ixodes shahi Clifford, Hoogstraal and Kohls, 1971
198. Ixodes siamensis Kitaoka and Suzuki, 1983 . Kolonin (2009) considers I. siamensis a synonym of I. ovatus , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) treat it as provisionally valid.
199. Ixodes sigelos Keirans, Clifford and Corwin, 1976 . In Camicas et al. (1998), I. sigelos is listed as a synonym of I. abrocomae Lahille, 1916 , but Guglielmone et al. (2009) found no evidence for this arrangement and declared both names valid. Recently, Guglielmone et al. (in press) redescribed the male and described the female of I. abrocomae , thereby settling this controversy.

242. Ixodes zaglossi Kohls, 1960
243. Ixodes zairensis Keirans, Clifford and Walker, 1982 1. Nosomma monstrosum (Nuttall and Warburton, 1908) . This is the type species of the formerly monotypic genus Nosomma ; it was originally named Hyalomma monstrosum .
2. Nosomma keralensis Prakasan and Ramani, 2007 . The original description of this species is very poor and we strongly doubt its validity (Guglielmone et al. 2009), but we include it here pending type comparison with N. monstrosum , which should readily clarify its status. Kolonin (2009) does not include this species in his list of the Ixodidae of the world.
1. Rhipicentor bicornis Nuttall and Warburton, 1908 . This is the type species of the genus Rhipicentor . 2. Rhipicentor nuttalli Cooper and Robinson, 1908

4. Rhipicephalus armatus Pocock, 1900
5. Rhipicephalus arnoldi Theiler and Zumpt, 1949
6. Rhipicephalus aurantiacus Neumann, 1907 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) note that this tick is considered a synonym of R. ziemanni by some authors, but because there has been no comparison of types, we provisionally regard R. aurantiacus as valid. Kolonin (2009) does not include R. aurantiacus in his list of world Ixodidae .
7. Rhipicephalus bequaerti Zumpt, 1949
8. Rhipicephalus bergeoni Morel and Balis, 1976
9. Rhipicephalus boueti Morel, 1957

13. Rhipicephalus carnivoralis Walker, 1966
14. Rhipicephalus cliffordi Morel, 1965 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) note that this tick has been considered a synonym of R. pseudolongus , but because there has been no comparison of types, we provisionally regard R. cliffordi as valid. Kolonin (2009) does not share this opinion.

45. Rhipicephalus masseyi Nuttall and Warburton, 1908
46. Rhipicephalus microplus ( Canestrini, 1888) (Boophilus) . Some authors have listed the year 1887 for the original description of Rhipicephalus microplus (the species was described as Haemophysalis [sic] micropla ), while others have used the year 1888. An inquiry to the U.S. Library of Congress has shown that Canestrini (1887) was actually published in Padova by Stabilimento Prosperini in 1888; therefore, we recognize the latter year for the description of R. microplus . A recent study by Labruna et al. (2009b) presents evidence that populations of R. microplus from Australia are not conspecific with Afrotropical and Neotropical populations, although Afrotropical and Neotropical populations are conspecific.

57. Rhipicephalus pravus Dönitz, 1910
58. Rhipicephalus pseudolongus Santos Dias, 1953 . Guglielmone et al. (2009) note that this tick is considered a synonym of R. longus by some authors, but no evidence has been forthcoming to support such a view; therefore, we regard R. pseudolongus as tentatively valid. See also R. cliffordi .
59. Rhipicephalus pulchellus (Gerstäcker, 1873)

75. Rhipicephalus tetracornus Kitaoka and Suzuki, 1983 . Kolonin (2009) excludes R. tetracornus from his list of world Ixodidae , but the holotype nymph exists and no evidence has been proffered to support synonymization (Guglielmone et al. 2009).
76. Rhipicephalus theileri Bedford and Hewitt, 1925
77. Rhipicephalus tricuspis Dönitz, 1906
78. Rhipicephalus turanicus Pomerantzev, 1940 . While most Western workers list the year 1936 for the original description of R. turanicus , we follow Filippova (1997), who considers 1940 to be the correct year.
