Species Ixodes cornuatus Roberts, 1960

 

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.

Species Ixodes eudyptidis Maskell, 1885

 

Miscellaneous Literature Names

 

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 holocyclus Neumann, 1899

 

Introduction

The Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus has been the subject of a very large literature, as a result of its medical and veterinary importance. Only a few selected references are listed here. A general review of its biology and medical importance is avaliable at the following web site: http://medent.usyd.edu.au/fact/ticks.htm. Barker & Walker (2014) reviewed the biology and morphology of this species in detail.

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.

Species Ixodes laridis Heath & Palma, 2017

 

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 tasmani Neumann, 1899

 

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.
