Note on Colouration in Ticks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
The ornamentation so characteristic in Amblyomma, Aponomma, Dermacentor, and occasionally met with in species of Rhipicephalus and Hyalomma, is of use to the systematist in the differentiation of species. In many descriptions of ornate Ixodidae the colours are referred to as “metallic” owing to the sheen they possess when the ticks are preserved in alcohol.
