Carios capensis (Neumann, 1901) View in CoL = Ornithodoros capensis Neumann, 1901
Kohls (1957) reports that in 1945, on Guam, one female of the seabird soft tick, Carios capensis . which was reared from a larva, and several other larvae of this wide-ranging soft tick were found from brown noddies ( Anous stolidus ). This species is closely related to the following cosmopolitan Carios denmarki and differentiation is best done only in the larval state. However, in Amerson’s report of the Central Pacific, (1968), additional Micronesian hosts were identified, primarily seabirds.
