Ecology and other information.

Ixodes maslovi is an almost unstudied tick known and described from two findings of its male and female ( Emelyanova and Kozlovskaya 1967), as well as the nymph ( Voltsyt 1997).

Camicas et al. (1998) and Kolonin (2009) regard I. maslovi as an abnormal form of I. persulcatus although Filippova (1977) and Guglielmone et al. (2020) consider I. maslovi a valid taxon.

The type specimens are deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences – the holotype: male; [ Russia], environs of Khabarovsk, Khekhtsir Mt. Range, 12. VI. 1964, collected from vegetation by O. L. Kozlovskaya; FBM I 1412; the paratype: female; FBM I 1413. Description – Filippova 1977: 248–251 (female, male); Voltsit 1997: 265–268 (nymph; larva unknown) ( Filippova 2008).
