Abstract
Ixodes algericus n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females, nymphs and larvae ex rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) from Algeria. Females of this new species possess a unique set of morphological characters allowing identification of this species from any other Ixodes Latreille, 1795 species. These characters include the lack of genital apron, length of auriculae, development of syncoxae and length of spurs on coxa I. The nymph and larva of I. algericus n. sp. can be distinguished from the potentially sympatric Ixodes s. str. species by the shape of the scutum, number of alloscutal setae, length of auriculae and shape of the hypostome.
Ixodes algericus n. sp.（Acari：Ixodidae）的描述基于来自阿尔及利亚的啮齿动物（啮齿目：鼠科）的雌性、若虫和幼虫。该新种的雌虫具有一系列独特的形态特征，可将该种与其他任何 Ixodes Latreille, 1795 种鉴别开来。I. algericus n. sp.的若虫和幼虫可通过鳞屑的形状、全鳞刚毛的数量、耳状刚毛的长度和下体的形状与潜在的同域 Ixodes s. str.物种区分开来。
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.
