Abstract
Ixodes (Afrixodes) ambohitantelensis n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex endemic shrew tenrecs (Afrosoricida: Tenrecidae) and an introduced rodent (Rodentia: Muridae) from Madagascar. Females of this new species are similar to those of other species of the subgenus Afrixodes Morel, 1966, known from Madagascar, from which they can be distinguished by the size of scutum, size of scutal setae, shape of alloscutal setae, development of genital apron, size of auriculae, size of anterior angle of basis capituli, size of palpi, dental formula on hypostome, development of syncoxae, and size and development of spurs on coxae I and IV.
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.
