Extract

The identification of Ixodes frontalis Panzer, 1795, from earlier descriptions presented great difficulty, more particularly as the species is rare. There are two specimens in the British Museum (Natural History), and the description by Schulze (1933) is from a single specimen in the Sofia Museum. The rarity of the species led Schulze to write that ‘Die Art ist in Deutschland seit den Zeiten Panzers nicht mehr wiedergefunden worden’. Senevet (1937), who considers I. frontalis synonymous with I. brunneus Koch, 1844, wrote that the species occurred in St Genies-de-Malgoires in France, but this information was taken from Nuttall, Warburton, Cooper & Robinson (1911).
