Abstract: Many argasid tick species are known only through their larval descriptions, in which the chaetotaxy, together with other external morphological characteristics, has been used to separate genera and species. However, the illustrations of these features are based on optical microscopy alone and many of these features are not clearly defined. Because of the difficulties in determining the larval and nymph stages of some genera, we have prepared illustrated keys for the immature stages of argasids, including an up… Show more

“…This family differs from the Ixodidae in relation to some morphological features (lack of a dorsal scutum and the ventral position of the capitulum in the nymphal and adult stages), biological features (several nymphal instars and fast feeding) and ecological characteristics (living in nests or caves, as well as buried in sand) (VIAL, 2009). Argasid ticks are hematophagous and their hosts comprise a wide variety of vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals), including humans (HOOGSTRAAL, 1985;BARROS-BATTESTI et al, 2013.…”

“…To date, 66 species of ticks have been recorded in Brazil, and of these, 45 belong to the family Ixodidae and 21 to the family Argasidae (Dantas-Torres et al 2009; Barros-Battesti et al 2013;Martins et al 2014;Nava et al 2014). For the Mato Grosso do Sul state only 22 tick species were recorded, 19 of the family Ixodidae and three of the family Argasidae (Labruna and Venzal 2009;Garcia et al 2012).…”
