Redescription

F: Heath and Palma (2017)

Note: the only redescription of the female of Ixodes amersoni is in a key without figures provided by Heath and Palma (2017). Camicas et al. (1998) list the nymph of Ixodes amersoni , under the name Scaphixodes amersoni , as described and consider this tick to be established in the Australasian Region, statements that are not shared in this study.
