Ixodes inopinatus Estrada-Pena, Nava & Petney 2014

Description

111. Ixodes inopinatus Estrada-Peña, Nava & Petney, 2014.

Palearctic: 1) Algeria, 2) Austria, 3) Germany, 4) Morocco, 5) Portugal, 6) Romania, 7) Spain, 8) Tunisia, 9) Turkey (Estrada-Peña et al. 2017, Bursali et al. 2020, Rubel et al. 2021, Rubel & Brugger 2022).

Ixodes inopinatus was confused with Ixodes ricinus prior to its description by Estrada-Peña et al. (2014).According to Estrada-Peña et al. (2017), some records of Ixodes festai and Ixodes ventalloi from France and Italy may in fact be Ixodes inopinatus, while Norte et al. (2021) suggested that some 16S sequences of Ixodes inopinatus in GenBank belong to another species. See also Ixodes ricinus for a discussion of that species’ confusion with Ixodes inopinatus.
