Redescription

F: Heath and Palma (2017)

Note: the only redescription of the female of Ixodes amersoni is in a key without figures provided by Heath and Palma (2017). Camicas et al. (1998) list the nymph of Ixodes amersoni, under the name Scaphixodes amersoni, as described and consider this tick to be established in the Australasian Region, statements that are not shared in this study.
