Ecology and other information.

Ixodes sachalinensis is a tick species known only by the single finding from Sakhalin. It was collected from a mountain hare together with 79 females, 15 males and 7 nymphs of I. persulcatus ( Filippova 1971) .

Kolonin (2009) and Camicas et al. (1998) consider I. sachalinensis a synonym of I. persulcatus , but Barker and Murrell (2004) and Guglielmone et al. (2009, 2010) recognize this species as valid.

The type specimen is deposited at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and includes the holotype: female; [ Russia], Sakhalin, near Khomutovo Vill., Lepus timidus , 27. 5. 1950, [coll.: unknown]; AL I 729 ( Filippova 2008).
