Ixodes neuquenensis Ringuelet 1947

Description

161. Ixodes neuquenensis Ringuelet, 1947.

A Neotropical species, all described stages of which are known only to parasitize Microbiotheria: Microbiotheriidae.

M: unknown; see note below.

F: Boero (1945), under the name Ixodes brunneus, and given its current status in Ringuelet (1947)

N: Guglielmone et al. (2004)

L: Guglielmone et al. (2004)

Redescriptions

F: Ringuelet (1947), Guglielmone et al. (2004), Nava et al. (2017)

N: Nava et al. (2017)

L: none

Note: the nymph described by Ringuelet (1947) as Ixodes neuquenensis belongs to another as yet undetermined species (Guglielmone et al. 2004), but Camicas et al. (1998) state, erroneously, that the nymph is the only known stage of Ixodes neuquenensis. The alleged male of Ixodes neuquenensis found on a fox by Daciuk et al. (1981) was subsequently identified as Amblyomma tigrinum, as discussed in Guglielmone and Nava (2005). Sebastian et al. (2016) found specimens that were identified as Ixodes cf. I. neuquenensis, implying that more than one species may be included under the name Ixodes neuquenensis. See also Ixodes brunneus.
