282 Genus Ixodes 



ameivae Pagenstecher, 1861, p. 41, PI. II, Figs. 23, 24, hypostome and part of 

 basis capituli with mandibles; probably an Amblyomrna or Aponomma, 

 from Mexico, as rightly suggested by Neumann, 1899, p. 159. 



" americana" (Linn.) Koch, of Murray, 1877, p. I9i = americanus, see below. 



americanus (Linn.) Fabricius, 1805, p. 355 = Amblyomrna americanum (Linn.) 

 fide Salmon and Stiles, 1901, p. 475. 



americanus Gervais, 1844, p. 247 ' = Amblyomrna americanum (Linn.) fide 

 Neumann, 1897, p. 366. 



angustus Neumann 1901, p. 284 = Ixodes loricatus Neumann 1899. 



annulatus Say, 1821, p. 75; 1859, p. \9 = Boophilus annulatus (Say) Curtice, 

 1891. Original description useless ; found on Cervus virginianus, 

 Florida. 



aptericola Maskell, 1897, p. 292, PI. XVII, Figs. 7, 8 ; included in Neumann, 

 1899, p. 163. We find the description and figures so poor as to render even 

 the determination of the genus impossible. $ tick, found on Apteryx 

 australis, Dusky Sound, New Zealand. 



apteridis Maskell, 1897, p. 291. The figures represent a capitulum of the /. 

 putus type. The ticks (?(?,?) were found on Apteryx mantelli, inland from 

 Mt Egmont, New Zealand, and may be the same as the preceding. 



"aquilae" (in Hamburg Museum) = Amblyomrna decoratum Koch, 1844, p. 230 ; 

 1847, p. 94, PI. XVIII, Fig. 67. See Neumann, 1899, p. 245. 



arcticus Osborn, 1899, p. 553, in Banks, 1908, pp. 23, 53, who states that 

 the type is lost, and the species only recorded (No. 3500) in the type 

 catalogue of the Division of Insects, U. S. National Museum. He quotes 

 Osborn's description as indicating " that the species is a good one." We 

 consider the description too vague to be of any use, and unhesitatingly 

 condemn the species. Hooker, 1909, p. 483, contrary to Banks, states 

 that the type is in the U. S. National Museum. 



arenicola Eichwald, 1830, p. 63, PI. II, Fig. 18 (after Gervais). Insufficiently 

 described ; found on sand, shores of Caspian Sea and in Podolia. 



aureolatus (Fabr.) Fabricius, 1805, p. 355 (Acarus aureolatus Fabricius, 1794, 

 p. 428) = Amblyomrna aureolatus (Fabr.). 



auricularius Conil, 1878, p. 99, PI. IX, Fig. 1 (/. auricularis Conil, in 

 Neumann, 1899, p. 166). Insufficiently described for identification, although 

 the author has been to great pains with his measurements, etc. 



auriscutellatus Koningsberger, 1900 = Amblyomrna tenttcdinarium Koch, 1835- 

 1844, Heft xi, 1 ; fide Neumann, 1901, p. 303. 



australasiae Fabricius, 1805, p. 355 = ? Amblyomrna. 



autumnalis Leach, 1815, p. 398 = hexagonus Leach, 1815. 



avuugus Berlese, 1890, fasc. lv, No. h — brunneus Koch, 1844. 



bengalensis Supino, 1897, p. 15, PL II, Figs. 6-10 ; 1897, p. 268, PI. XII, Fig. 4 

 (tarsus). Description insufficient, from Burma. 



berlem Birula, 1895, p. 359, PI. II, Figs. 1-6. Description and figures 

 insufficient ; a $ Ixodes from E. Africa. 



bibroni Gervais, 1842, p. xlviii ; Walckenaer and Gervais, 1844, p. 248; 

 Packard, 1867, p. 68 ; also Neumann, 1899, p. 157. Probably an Amblyomrna ; 

 from S. America.
