Redescription

F: Filippova (1977)

Note: Camicas et al. (1998, under the name Pholeoixodes rugicollis ) and Hornok et al. (2017b) treat Ixodes cornutus as a synonym of Ixodes rugicollis , but this species is considered valid in Filippova (1977) and Kolonin (2009). Guglielmone et al. (2010b, 2014, 2015) regard Ixodes cornutus as provisionally valid, pending comparison with Ixodes rugicollis , whose types are available.
