Ixodes victoriensis
Nuttall, 1916
. An Australasian species, all of whose parasitic stages have been found on
Diprotodontia
:
Potoroidae
and
Vombatidae
(Guglielmone
et al.
2014,
Weaver 2016
). There are no records of
Ixodes victoriensis
causing human parasitism.

Note:
Weaver (2016)
found morphological differences among
Ixodes victoriensis
from
Victoria and Tasmania
in relation to specimens of the same taxon collected in
Western Australia
, but feels that such differences are insufficient to warrant separate species status for these populations.
