Abstract

Ixodes (Afrixodes) ambohitantelensis n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex endemic shrew tenrecs (Afrosoricida: Tenrecidae) and an introduced rodent (Rodentia: Muridae) from Madagascar. Females of this new species are similar to those of other species of the subgenus Afrixodes Morel, 1966, known from Madagascar, from which they can be distinguished by the size of scutum, size of scutal setae, shape of alloscutal setae, development of genital apron, size of auriculae, size of anterior angle of basis capituli, size of palpi, dental formula on hypostome, development of syncoxae, and size and development of spurs on coxae I and IV.

马达加斯加硬蜱属一新种的描述，1795年（Acari：硬蜱科），鼩鼩属（Afotheria：硬蜱科）和啮齿类（啮齿目：鼠科）的寄生虫。

硬蜱（Afrixodes）ambohitantelensis n.sp.（Acari：硬蜱科）是以雌性前地方性鼩鼩（Afrosoricida:Tenrecidae）和一种从马达加斯加引进的啮齿动物（啮齿目：鼠科）为基础描述的。该新种的雌性与马达加斯加已知的Afrixodes Morel亚属（1966）的其他物种相似，从中可以通过盾的大小、盾刚毛的大小、异盾刚毛形状、生殖器围裙的发育、耳的大小、头基前角的大小、须的大小、尿道下裂上的牙齿配方、合胞菌的发育来区分，以及髋关节I和IV上刺的大小和发育。

期刊介绍： Systematic Parasitology publishes papers on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of the following groups: Nematoda (including plant-parasitic), Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Aspidogastrea, Cestodaria, Arthropoda (parasitic copepods, hymenopterans, mites, ticks, etc.), Protozoa (parasitic groups), and parasitic genera in other groups, such as Mollusca, Turbelleria, etc. Systematic Parasitology publishes fully illustrated research papers, brief communications, and fully illustrated major revisions. In order to maintain high standards, all contributors describing new taxa are asked to state clearly where the holotype is deposited and to make paratypes available for examination by the referees. It is recognized that, in some cases, this may cause problems for the authors, but it is hoped that by adhering to this rule authors may be protected against rapid synonymy of their taxa, and the types will be preserved for posterity.
