245. Ixodes venezuelensis Kohls, 1953b.
A Neotropical species, all of whose known parasitic stages have been found on Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae, and Rodentia: Cricetidae and Heteromyidae; females alone have been collected from Rodentia: Muridae; immature stages have been recovered from Rodentia: Dasyproctidae, Echimyidae and Sciuridae. There are no records of Ixodes venezuelensis causing human parasitism.

Note: there are redescriptions of the female and nymph of Ixodes venezuelensis in Vogelsang and Santos Dias (1953b), but Méndez-Arocha and Ortiz (1958) noted some controversial morphological characters in the redescription of the female, and we have therefore decided not to include the redescriptions of this tick by the former authors.
