Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 8

16. Ixodes arabukiensis Arthur, 1959b .

Afrotropical: 1) Kenya ( Walker 1974).

Morel (1965a) considered Ixodes arabukiensis a probable synonym of Ixodes djaronensis , and Camicas et al. (1998) accepted that synonymy, but both species are treated as provisionally valid in Guglielmone et al. (2009, 2014), Guglielmone & Nava (2014) and here. Ixodes arabukiensis is not listed in Kolonin (2009), probably because that author considered this tick a synonym of Ixodes djaronensis .
