- <p><b><i>Ixodes nuttallianus</i> Schulze, 1930</b></p><p>This is a rare species in continental Southeast Asia, the main distributional area being the highlands of the Tibetan Plateau and Tibetan shrublands and meadows (Clifford <i>et al</i>. 1971, 1975; Guglielmone <i>et al</i>. 2014). In 1930, Schulze described <i>Ixodes muntiaci</i> from a single specimen originating from Mt. Victoria in the highland region of eastern Burma. This was synonymized with <i>I. nuttallianus</i> by Clifford <i>et al</i>. (1971). Schulze’s specimen remains the only one reported to date from Southeast Asia, although it is possible that this species is present in the mountainous regions of Myanmar bordering China and India. In those countries where it occurs, it is most commonly found at high altitudes of over 1,500 m to 3,640 m, where its wild hosts are associated with oak and tall fir forests and their accompanying vegetation, which may be required habitats for this species (Clifford <i>et al</i>. 1971). The hosts of adults are usually wild or domestic artiodactyl mammals in the families Bovidae and Cervidae, with dogs occasionally also being infested (Clifford <i>et al</i>. 1971). <i>Ixodes nuttallianus</i> is one of two known Southeast Asian members of the <i>I. ricinus / persulcatus</i> complex, the other being <i>I. granulatus</i> (Xu <i>et al</i>. 2003).</p><p>The female is described in Kohls (1962), the female and male in Clifford <i>et al</i>. (1971).</p>
