1 – I. abrocomae Lahille, 1916 (Rev. Chil. Hist. Nat., 20: 107–108) There is disagreement concerning the year of description of I. abrocomae; some authors argue that it is 1917, while others claim that it is 1916 (Guglielmone, A.A., Robbins, R.G., Apanaskevich, D.A., Petney, T.N., Estrada-Peña, A., Horak, I.G., Shao, R. & Barker, S.C. 2010. The Argasidae, Ixodidae and Nuttalliellidae (Acari: Ixodida) of the world. A list of valid species names. Zootaxa, 2528: 1–28). An inquiry to the U.S. Library of Congress failed to resolve this problem. A request to the Sociedad Chilena de Biología (publisher of Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, where the description of I. abrocomae was published) was not answered. We consider 1916 as the year of description of I. abrocomae. See comments below and also under I. sigelos. Type depository: neotype (USNTC) (Guglielmone, A.A., Nava, S., Bazán-León, E.A., Vásquez, R.A. & Mangold, A.J. 2010. Redescription of the male and description of the female of Ixodes abrocomae Lahille, 1916 (Acari: Ixodidae). Syst. Parasitol., 77: 153–160) Known stages: male, female Zoogeographic Region: Neotropical Ecoregions: Chilean matorral, Chilean mediterranean-type scrub; southern Andean steppe Hosts: Rodentia: Abrocomidae, Cricetidae (A) Human infestation: no Remarks: this species was known only from the holotype male (subsequently lost); recently, however, Guglielmone et al. (2010) found new males and females, thus confirming the validity of I. abrocomae. See also I. sigelos.

Cambridge University Press, London, pp. 133–293) Known stages: male, female, nymph, larva Zoogeographic Region: Palearctic Ecoregions: this tick has a wide Palearctic distribution, mainly in temperate broadleaf and mixed forests Hosts: usual hosts for larvae, nymphs and adult ticks are Rodentia: Cricetidae and Muridae. Aves are considered exceptional hosts for this species. Mammalia (several orders) (ANL) Passeriformes: Turdidae (A) Human infestation: yes (Hillyard 1996) Remarks: Kolonin (2009) regards I. redikorzevi as a synonym of I. acuminatus and does not recognize Aves as hosts of this tick. We accept the records of I. acuminatus from Aves
