Note: Camicas et al. (1998) list the nymph and larva of Ixodes festai as having been described, but we follow Pérez-Eid (2007) who regards these stages as undescribed. Estrada-Peña et al. (2017) assert that the male of Ixodes festai in Contini et al. (2011) is, in fact, the male of Ixodes eldaricus . Estrada-Peña et al. (2017) also state that the supposed description of Ixodes festai in Arthur (1957c, 1965 ) in fact represents Ixodes ventalloi , and that this is also the case with the adults, larva and nymph described by Arthur (1958 a, 1963), and the larva described in Sénevet and Ripert (1967a) and Sénevet and Rodhain (1968).
