Note: Sánchez et al. (2010) state that more than one species may be included under the name Ixodes sigelos . Camicas et al. (1998) treat Ixodes sigelos as a probable synonym of Ixodes abrocomae, but both species are valid, as discussed in Guglielmone et al. (2010a). Nevertheless, the hypothesis of Camicas et al. (1998) has again been proposed by Muñoz-Leal et al. (2019).
