The Genus Ixodes 
hypostome moderately pointed, dentition 2j2 to 3|3, with about 10 
sharp teeth per file and a median unarmed ridge; auriculae small, 
edged; posterior portion of base moderately broad, rounded behind. 
Venter: Vulva between coxae IV; anal grooves somewhat ogival, 
short, not attaining the posterior border; spiracles sub-circular, 
macula central. Legs : Coxa I with sharp internal and short external

Fig. 17. Ixodes granulatus Supino 1897, $ (N. 2966 co-type). Scutum, capitulum in 
dorsal and ventral aspects, coxae with trochanters, anus with anal grooves, spiracle 
and tarsus 4 (G.H.F.N. del.). 
My description is based on the examination of types and co-types 
collected in 1885-1889 by L. Fea and stated by Supino to have been 
collected from Sciurus gordoni, S. rufigenis, S. striatus and Felis tigris at 
Bhamo, Mooleyis, Tarawaddy and Terinzo in Upper and Lower Burma, 
I have recently determined 3 $s (Indian Mus. £ff5.= N. 3193) found 
on Epimys rufescens, Peshok, Darjeeling District, India, by R. S. Lister, 
Types in the Genoa Museum (No. 37), co-types (N. 2966, 4 $) in 
Cambridge. A good species closely allied to Ixodes angustus Neumann 
1899.
