Extract

The following new species of Ixodes from eastern Africa are described and figured: I. rotundatus, I. auriculaelongae, I. nchisiensis, I. latus, I. loveridgei, I. spinae, and I. euplecti.

The female of I. oldi is redescribed and the hitherto unknown male and nymph are described and figured. Some consideration is given to two specimens from Uganda which differ in certain particulars from typical specimens from East and West Africa.
