106. Ixodes holocyclus Neumann, 1899 .

Australasian: 1) Australia (Roberts 1970, Barker & Walker 2014).

The syntype series of Ixodes holocyclus contains Indian specimens that do not belong to this species (Keirans & Hillyard 2001). Sharif (1928), Ghosh et al. (2007) and others listed Ixodes holocyclus as found in India, but there are no bona fide records of this tick from that country. The same can be said about the Indonesian record of Ixodes holocyclus in Krijgsman & Ponto (1932). Roberts (1960) stated that records of this tick from Papua New Guinea are the result of misidentifications, and Owen (2011) agreed. Rahim et al. (2013) recorded an instance of human infestation by Ixodes holocyclus in Malaysia, but without taxonomic support; consequently, Malaysia is not included within the range of this tick.
