Abstract

Researchers on ticks and tickborne diseases have been extremely fortunate in having at their fingertips the tick bibliographies produced by Harry Hoogstraal and his coworkers at the U.S. Naval facility at Cairo, Egypt, and by Mildred Doss and her colleagues at the U.S. Department of Agriculture laboratory at Beltsville, Maryland, USA. The Doss checklist of tick families, genera, species, and subspecies is now 25 years out of date, and the following checklist of one new genus, nine new subgenera, and 110 new species of Ixodida brings together the nomenclature on ticks produced during the last quarter century.
