Extract

Ixodes festai was originally described from two Libyan and Tunisian female specimens from two different avian hosts by Dr M. Rondelli in 1926. Subsequently the female was re-described and the male and immature stages described from specimens collected in the Nefifik forest near Casablanca (Arthur, 1957a, 1958). Details of the life history were reported by Blanc & Bruneau (1958) and by Arthur (1958) from information furnished by Bruneau. More recently Morel (1959) has reported the occurrence of this species in France, but previously Gil Collado (1936, 1948) described it as a Spanish species under the name of Ixodes ventalloi.
