Description
115. Ixodes kerguelenensis André and Colas-Belcour, 1942.
An Australasian species also known from islands in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans, all of whose parasitic stages have been found on Procellariiformes: Procellariidae, and Sphenisciformes: Spheniscidae; adults and nymphs have been collected from Procellariiformes: Diomedeidae. There are no records of Ixodes kerguelenensis causing human parasitism.
M: André and Colas-Belcour (1942), under the name Ixodes canisuga kerguelenensis, and given its current status in Zumpt (1952)
F: Arthur (1960c), under the name Ixodes pterodromae, a synonym of Ixodes kerguelenensis
N: Roberts (1960), under the name Ixodes pterodromae
L: Wilson (1970)
Redescriptions
M: Arthur (1960d), Roberts (1964b, 1970, under the name Ixodes pterodromae), Wilson (1970)
F: Roberts (1960, 1970), under the name Ixodes pterodromae, Wilson (1970)
N: Roberts (1970), under the name Ixodes pterodromae, Wilson (1970)
L: none
Note: Ixodes kerguelenensis is difficult to identify, with the result that this species has been confused with Ixodes auritulus and Ixodes percavatus, as discussed in Wilson (1970).
