124. Ixodes laguri Olenev, 1929b .

Palearctic: 1) Armenia, 2) Azerbaijan, 3) Bulgaria, 4) Czechia, 5) Georgia, 6) Hungary, 7) Kazakhstan, 8) Moldova, 9) Mongolia, 10) Romania, 11) Russia, 12) Slovakia, 13) Turkey, 14) Turkmenistan, 15) Ukraine ( Feider 1965, Filippova 1977, Kolonin 2009, Kiefer et al. 2010, Bursali et al. 2012, Dilbaryan & Hovhannisyan 2016, Guglielmone & Robbins 2018, Hornok et al. 2020 a, Perfilyeva et al. 2020).

Filippova (1977) hypothesized that four subspecies of Ixodes laguri exist, while Estrada-Peña et al. (2017) cautioned that Ixodes laguri can be confused with Ixodes ricinus .

The presence of Ixodes laguri in Mongolia was recognized in Kiefer et al. (2010) but not in Černý, J. et al. (2019); therefore, Mongolia is provisionally considered to be within the range of this tick.

Austria, Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Uzbekistan were included within the range of Ixodes laguri in Estrada-Peña et al. (2017), but Guglielmone & Robbins (2018) were unable to confirm its presence in those countries based on the references provided in Estrada-Peña et al. (2017), and we provisionally exclude all six states from the range of Ixodes laguri .

Guglielmone et al. (2014, 2020) considered it possible that more than one species is included under the name Ixodes laguri .
