Ixodes arabukiensis Arthur 1959

Description

16. Ixodes arabukiensis Arthur, 1959b. Afrotropical: 1) Kenya (Walker 1974).

Morel (1965a) considered Ixodes arabukiensis a probable synonym of Ixodes djaronensis, and Camicas et al. (1998) accepted that synonymy, but both species are treated as provisionally valid in Guglielmone et al. (2009, 2014), Guglielmone & Nava (2014) and here. Ixodes arabukiensis is not listed in Kolonin (2009), probably because that author considered this tick a synonym of Ixodes djaronensis.
