Introduction

Recent research in molecular systematics has allowed significant improvements in the classification of the Australian Ixodidae. The species that were previously placed in the genus Aponomma have been transferred to either Bothriocroton or Amblyomma. Also, the genus Boophilus, which includes the economically important cattle tick Boophilus microplus, is now considered to be a junior synonym of Rhipicephalus. The Australian Ixodidae are now classified into the genera Amblyomma, Bothriocroton, Haemaphysalis, Ixodes, Rhipicephalus, and possibly Hyalomma. Barker & Walker (2014) provided a detailed review of the species that infest domestic animals and humans. Barker et al. (2014) listed the 70 species of ticks that occur Australia and summarised their host relationships.

Several species of Ixodidae have been recorded from Australia on the basis of misidentifications or other errors. These are listed here, with brief explanatory notes, and their names are also listed under Species Excluded below.

The Australian cattle tick has been known for over 100 years as Boophilus microplus (Canestrini). However, it is now known that the correct name of the Australian cattle tick is Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) australis Fuller, 1899.

Amblyomma helvolum was recorded from Varanus sp. at Quambone, NSW by Robinson (1926) and Taylor (1946), but this identification has been regarded as doubtful by Roberts (1953, 1964), and Voltzit & Keirans (2002) considered it to be a misidentification. The difficulties involved in the identification of this species have been described in detail by Anastos (1950).

Cooper & Robinson (1908) described Aponomma quadratum from a single specimen from Quambone, NSW. This name is now regarded as a synonym of A. varanensis (Supino, 1897). However, the species has not been collected since the original description, and its presence in Australia cannot be confirmed (Kaufman 1972; Keirans & Hillyard 2001).

Dermacentor atrosignatus was described by Neumann (1906) as probably Australian in origin, and this opinion was repeated by Neumann (1911) and Fielding (1926). However, this species is now considered as not being present in Australia (Roberts 1970; Wassef & Hoogstraal 1984; Estrada-Peña 1989).

Dermacentor variabilis was recorded from a living specimen in Canberra, after it had apparently been brought from USA on a passenger aircraft (Halliday & Sutherst, 1990). However, the species has not become established in Australia.

There are some early records of Haemaphysalis leachi and Haemaphysalis leachi var. australis in Australia. These originally came from specimens identified by Froggatt (1900). This record, and records of H. leachi or H. leachi var australis by Rainbow (1906), Ferguson (1925), Fielding (1926) and Taylor (1946) have been relegated to synonymy under H. bancrofti (see Roberts, 1963 for details). Haemaphysalis leachi var australis was shown as a possible synonym of H. konigsbergeri by Anastos (1950). Roberts (1953) and Estrada-Peña (1989) however, regarded this synonymy as unlikely and considered that H. konigsbergeri does not occur in Australia.

Haemaphysalis papuana Thorell was recorded from Australia by Canestrini (1884) and Rainbow (1906), but Roberts (1963) showed that these records also refer to H. bancrofti.

Tubb (1937, 1938) recorded Ixodes percavatus from Australia. Arthur (1955) and Roberts (1960) show that these records of Ixodes percavatus actually refer to I. kohlsi. Roberts, however, does not refer to other records of I. percavatus from Australia, namely those of Nuttall (1916), Ferguson (1925) and Fielding (1926). The latter two records are simply repetitions of the record of Nuttall (1916). That record is based on a specimen that Neumann identified as I. eudyptidis (see Ferguson, 1925). Ixodes percavatus Neumann is considered to be absent from Australia. The records of I. percavatus cited by Taylor (1946) refer to I. eudyptidis (Perth) and I. kohlsi (Lady Julia Percy Island).

Ixodes percavatus var. rothschildi was described by Nuttall & Warburton (1911) from an unknown locality. Arthur (1953) raised the variety to the species level, and recorded this species from Perth, W.A., on the basis of two females referred to as "N.1850 = Cleland 17". This same material was listed by Nuttall (1916) under I. percavatus (but not var. rothschildi), and is now believed to be I. eudyptidis (see note under I. percavatus). Arthur states that the known records of I. rothschildi are all from the British Isles.

The alleged Australian record of Ixodes vespertilionis originates from Nuttall & Warburton (1911), who cite the origin of their specimens as Kingwilliamstown, South Australia. This actually refers to King William's Town, South Africa (Hoogstraal 1956; Roberts 1960). Fielding (1926) recorded I. vespertilionis from north Queensland, and Roberts (1960) and Arthur (1963) considered it to be present in NSW. However, Roberts (1970) again considered this species as not present in Australia. This species has had a very complex taxonomic history, as reviewed by Camicas et al. (1998).

A number of early authors recorded Haemaphysalis bispinosa Neumann, 1897 from Australia. All these records are now considered to refer to H. longicornis (see Roberts 1970).

Amblyomma diemeniae was described by Schulze (1950) from the Australian snake Diemenia textilis in the Berlin Aquarium. Schulze regarded this as an Australian species of tick, but it is not mentioned in the review of Australian ticks by Roberts (970), and it is not clear whether Schulze's specimens were of Australian origin. Keirans & Clifford (1984) listed this species as "[Origin ? Australia]". Camicas et al. (1998) listed A. diemeniae as a possible synonym of A. argentinae Neumann, and that opinion was later confirmed (Guglielmone et al., 2017). Amblyomma diemeniae is excluded at genus Amblyomma.

Introduction

Amblyomma breviscutatum was described by Neumann, 1899, page 214, and in the same work, Koch & Neumann described Amblyomma cyprium, on page 219. Santos Dias (1956) showed that these two names are synonymous, and selected breviscutatum as the valid name on the basis of page priority. This would now be interpreted as the action of a First Reviser under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. Voltzit & Keirans (2002) also used breviscutatum as the valid name for this species. It was recorded from Australia by Kemp & Wilson (1979) under the name Amblyomma cyprium cyprium.

Species Amblyomma echidnae Roberts, 1953

Amblyomma echidnae Roberts, F.H.S. 1953. The Australian species of Aponomma and Amblyomma (Ixodoidea). Australian Journal of Zoology 1: 111-161 pls 1-4.

Introduction

Amblyomma echidnae Roberts, 1953 has sometimes been treated as junior synonym or subspecies of Amblyomma australiense Neumann, 1905 (for example, by Camicas et al. 1998). However it is here treated as a valid species, following Guglielmone et al. (2009)

Introduction

Kaufman (1972) found that Aponomma pulchrum Roberts 1953 is a synonym of Amblyomma flavomaculatum, and speculated that it may have been accidentally imported into Australia. Camicas et al. (1998) treated Aponomma pulchrum as a synonym of Aponomma gervaisi, but that proposal has not been confirmed.

Amblyomma limbatum Neumann, G. 1899. Revision de la famille des Ixodidés. Mémoires de la Société Zoologique de France 12: 107-294.

Introduction

The reptile tick Amblyomma limbatum has been the subject of a long-term study at research sites near Adelaide. Andrews & Petney (2008) recently identified an isolated population that differed slightly from typical members of this species, and which may represent a separate undescribed species.

Introduction

Amblyomma triguttatum was divided into four subspecies by Roberts (1962). At that time the nominotypical subspecies A. triguttatum triguttatum was not known from South Australia. Since then, A. triguttatum triguttatum has been reported from Yorke Peninsula (McDiarmid et al. 2000; Waudby et al. 2007) and the mid-north of South Australia (Petney et al. 2008).

Introduction

This species was originally described as Aponomma concolor by Neumann (1899, page 198), and is now placed in the genus Bothriocroton. It should not be confused with the Neotropical species originally described as Amblyomma concolor by Neumann (1899, page 222), which is now considered to be a junior synonym of Amblyomma auricularium (Conil, 1878) (see Keirans & Hillyard 2001).

Species Bothriocroton tachyglossi (Roberts, 1953)

Aponomma tachyglossi Roberts, F.H.S. 1953. The Australian species of Aponomma and Amblyomma (Ixodoidea). Australian Journal of Zoology 1: 111-161 pls 1-4.

Introduction

Klompen et al. (2002) relegated Aponomma into synonymy with Amblyomma but did not specifically refer to Aponomma tachyglossi Roberts, 1953. Andrews et al. (2006) pointed out that Aponomma tachyglossi should now be placed in the genus Bothriocroton, although they did not formally adopt that arrangement themselves.

Bothriocroton tachyglossi has sometimes been considered as a synonym of B. hydrosauri (by Camicas et al. (1998) for example). It is here considered to be a valid species following Andrews et al. (2006).

Introduction

This species has sometimes been referred to as Aponomma decorosum (Koch). Camicas et al. (1998) listed it as Aponomma (Aponomma) decorosum, but Klompen et al. (2002) showed that A. decorosum is a junior synonym of Bothriocroton undatum.

Introduction

The early records of this species in Australia involve many mistakes and misidentifications, especially in the use of the names Haemaphysalis leachi and Haemaphysalis leachi var. australis, by Froggatt (1900), Rainbow (1906), Neumann (1911), Ferguson (1925), Fielding (1926), and others. Roberts (1963) reviewed these records in detail, and showed that Haemaphysalis leachi and Haemaphysalis leachi var. australis do not occur in Australia, and that these records almost certainly refer to Haemaphysalis bancrofti. Barker & Walker (2014) reviewed the biology and morphology of this species in detail.

Haemaphysalis papuana Thorell was recorded from Australia by Canestrini (1884) and Rainbow (1906), but Roberts (1963) showed that these records also refer to H. bancrofti.

Introduction

This species should not be confused with Haemaphysalis novae-guineae Krijgsman & Ponto 1932, which was a misidentification of Haemaphysalis bancrofti (see Roberts, 1963 and Camicas et al. 1998).

Introduction

Some early authors recorded Hyalomma aegyptium (Linnaeus 1758) from Australia (reviewed by Roberts, 1970). Kwak (2018) showed that these records were incorrect, and actually referred to Hyalomma dormedarii.

Introduction

Camicas et al. (1998) proposed the name Ixodes robertsi as a new replacement name for Ixodes cornuatus Roberts 1960, because they believed the latter was a junior homonym of Ixodes cornuatus Olenev 1941. However, Guglielmone et al. (2009) showed that I. cornuatus Olenev 1941 is a nomen nudum, so I. cornuatus Roberts remains valid, and Ixodes robertsi is a junior objective synonym. Barker & Walker (2014) reviewed the biology and morphology of this species in detail.

Miscellaneous Literature Names

Ixodes rothschildi (Nuttall & Warburton, 1911) [misidentification].

Introduction

Heath & Palma (2017) showed that many published records of Ixodes eudyptidis actually refer to another species, which they described as Ixodes laridis Heath & Palma, 2017. Ixodes eudyptidis occurs only on penguins, while Ixodes laridis occurs on gulls, gannets, and cormorants. All previous records of I. eudyptidis should be reconsidered in that context.

Species Ixodes kopsteini (Oudemans, 1925)

Introduction

This species was originally described by Oudemans (1925) as Eschatocephalus ropsteini. That this spelling was deliberate is indicated by the fact that Oudemans three times refers to the eponymous Dr. Ph. Ropstein. However, on finding that the person in question was actually named Kopstein, Oudemans (1926, 1927) corrected this spelling to kopsteini, and this usage has been followed subsequently by, for example, Kohls & Clifford (1968), Roberts (1969, 1970), and others. This emended spelling is retained here in the interest of stability.

Introduction

This species shows a wide range of morphological variation, as discussed by Roberts (1960). Further research may show that specimens identified as I. tasmani include more than one species (Roberts, 1970). Ixodes tasmani victoriae Schulze 1935 may be one such species, but it is currently not considered as valid (Guglielmone et al. (2017). Barker & Walker (2014) reviewed the biology and morphology of this species in detail.

Introduction

The economically important Australian cattle tick has been known for over 100 years as Boophilus microplus (Canestrini). Under that name, it has been the subject of an enormous literature, both in Australia and other countries (reviewed by Angus, 1998, with selected references below). However, new evidence has shown that the Australian cattle tick is a separate species, which was originally described as Rhipicephalus australis by Fuller (1899) (Labruna et al., 2009; Estrada-Peña et al., 2012). All the previous literature on the Australian cattle tick actually refers to Rhipicephalus australis, not Boophilus microplus.

Recent research has shown that the genus Boophilus is a junior synonym of Rhipicephalus (see Beati & Keirans 2001; Murrell & Barker 2003). The Australian cattle tick should therefore be known as Rhipicephalus australis. However, in order to maintain the link between the names Boophilus and microplus, the genus Rhipicephalus is now considered to include two subgenera, and the Australian cattle tick is now known as Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) australis. Barker & Walker (2014) reviewed the biology and morphology of this species in detail.

Introduction

Comprehensive reviews of the taxonomy and biology of this species may be found in Walker et al. (2000) and Barker & Walker (2014). Camicas et al. (1998) provide an extensive list of its synonyms. The name Rhipicephalus sanguineus has almost certainly been applied to several different species, and the precise identity of these species has not yet been resolved (Dantas-Torres & Otranto, 2015; Nava et al. 2018).
