Ixodes fossulatus Neumann, 1899 . A Neotropical species known only from a female collected on an unknown host. M: unknown F: Neumann (1899) N: unknown L: unknown Redescription F: Nuttall and Warburton (1911) Note: Ixodes fossulatus is known from a single specimen described without figures in Neumann (1899) . The same specimen is figured and redescribed in Nuttall and Warburton (1911) , who note differences with the original account. Clifford et al. (1973) doubt the validity of Ixodes fossulatus , although we include it as valid here. The Japanese (Palearctic) record of Ixodes fossulatus is a misidentification ( Yamaguti et al. 1971 ).
