4. Bothriocroton hydrosauri ( Denny, 1843) View in CoL .

An Australasian species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Squamata : Scincidae , but they have also been collected from Squamata : Elapidae , and Monotremata : Tachyglossidae (provisional). Adults and larvae have been collected from Squamata : Agamidae ; adult ticks alone have been recovered from Artiodactyla : Bovidae , and Squamata : Varanidae ; and nymphs have been found on Testudines : Chelidae . Bothriocroton hydrosauri is a rare parasite of humans.
