The rest of the specimens of this collection, including 18 females, 12 males, 14 nymphs and 114 larvae (the progeny of one engorged female collected on one rabbit in the same burrow) were used to complete the redescription and the illustrations, and obtain additional measurements. These specimens are deposited in the collection of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Zaragoza (Spain) with the accession number FMV1109. Further specimens, including 2 females and 81 nymphs were obtained from the surroundings of Palermo, 38°11N, 13.36E (Sicily, Italy) to check for coherence of the morphological details. These specimens are deposited in the collection of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Zaragoza (Spain) with the accession number FMV1317.

, shows the ventral view of an engorged female with a curved internal spur on coxa I, which does not reach coxa II (probably because engorgement of the female distorted the proportions). The male is characterized by its relatively long conscutal setae and the presence of deep and distinct cervical fields, which have a few setae. The nymph is characterized by: presence of a broadly pyriform scutum; lateral carinae slightly apparent; cornua small, almost inapparent; hypostome with blunt apex, presenting dental formula 3/3 at more than half of hypostomal length, then 2/2 to base, all denticles sharply pointed; anal groove slightly converging posteriorly; alloscutal setae abundant, long, and about 6 times longer than those on scutum; and internal spur of coxa I reaching coxa II. The larva has: scutum posteriorly rounded; Md1-Md3 setae the same size as the other setae, which are only slightly longer than scutal setae; cornua present; auriculae long; hypostome with apex clearly rounded with dental formula 3/3 to mid-length, then 2/2 to base; and anal groove clearly divergent.
