Redescription

F: Nuttall and Warburton (1911)

Note: Ixodes fossulatus is known from a single specimen described without figures in Neumann (1899) . The same specimen is figured and redescribed in Nuttall and Warburton (1911), who note differences with the original account. Clifford et al. (1973) doubt the validity of Ixodes fossulatus, although we include it as valid here. The Japanese (Palearctic) record of Ixodes fossulatus is a misidentification (Yamaguti et al. 1971).
