Abstract
ABSTRACT Nomenclatural stability is a key challenge within the area of tick taxonomy due to the widescale loss of old type material, errors in the designation and usage of binomials, and the common description of synonymous species, historically. Ixodes anatis is an important co-endangered tick species endemic to New Zealand and its nomenclatural stability is crucial for those studying its ecology and conservation biology. Following its complete redescription earlier this year, the authors discovered two further syntypes of I. anatis, in addition to the specimen recorded in the redescription. One of these specimens, an intact female, is elevated to the rank of lectotype in accordance with the IUZN code, to ensure nomenclatural stability of this species.
期刊介绍：
The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research.
The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history.
The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
