N: Spickett et al. (1981)
L: Spickett et al. (1981)
Redescriptions: none
Note: Spickett et al. (1981) explain that Ixodes matopi was originally misidentified as Ixodes neitzi by Clifford et al. (1977). Camicas et al. (1998) state that the nymph and larva of Ixodes matopi have not been described, but they were described in Spickett et al. (1981).
