Note:
the name
Ixodes luciae
is inferred as a new name for
Ixodes loricatus spinosus
, preoccupied by
Ixodes spinosus
in
Keirans and Hillyard (2001)
. However, it seems that
Sénevet (1940)
overlooked the description of the female of
Ixodes loricatus spinosus
in
Nuttall (1910)
when describing
Ixodes luciae
, because Nuttall’s study is ignored in Sénevet’s paper.
Ixodes loricatus spinosus
is a synonym of
Ixodes luciae
, and is replaced by
Ixodes loricatus vogelsangi
in
Santos Dias (1954c)
, but the name
Ixodes luciae
nonetheless prevails.
