Redescription

F: Filippova (1977)

Note: Camicas et al. (1998, under the name Pholeoixodes rugicollis) and Hornok et al. (2017b) treat Ixodes cornutus as a synonym of Ixodes rugicollis, but this species is considered valid in Filippova (1977) and Kolonin (2009). Guglielmone et al. (2010b, 2014, 2015) regard Ixodes cornutus as provisionally valid, pending comparison with Ixodes rugicollis, whose types are available.
