Extract

An account is given of the morphological characteristics of the larvae of Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and H. a. excavatum. Emphasis is placed on the importance of chaetotaxy in the identification of the larvae.

I am most grateful to Professor Don R. Arthur for reading the manuscript and for his most useful advice and encouragement. Also I wish to express my sincere thanks to Dr R. P. Chaudhuri, Dr C. M. Clifford, Dr V. Dhanda, Dr H. Hoogstraal and Profesor B. Feldman-Muhsam for supplying me with specimens.
