Ixodes holocyclus
Neumann, 1899
.
Australasian: 1)
Australia
(
Roberts 1970
, Barker & Walker 2014).
The
syntype
series of
Ixodes holocyclus
contains
Indian
specimens that do not belong to this species (
Keirans & Hillyard 2001
).
Sharif (1928)
,
Ghosh
et al.
(2007)
and others listed
Ixodes holocyclus
as found in
India
, but there are no
bona fide
records of this tick from that country. The same can be said about the Indonesian record of
Ixodes holocyclus
in
Krijgsman & Ponto (1932)
.
Roberts (1960)
stated that records of this tick from
Papua New Guinea
are the result of misidentifications, and
Owen (2011)
agreed.
Rahim
et al.
(2013)
recorded an instance of human infestation by
Ixodes holocyclus
in
Malaysia
, but without taxonomic support; consequently,
Malaysia
is not included within the range of this tick.
