257. Ixodes ventalloi Gil Collado, 1936 .

Palearctic: 1) Cyprus, 2) France, 3) Great Britain, 4) Italy, 5) Morocco, 6) Portugal, 7) Spain, 8) Tunisia (Bailly-Choumara et al. 1974, Cringoli et al. 2005, Tsatsaris et al. 2016, Estrada-Peña et al. 2018, Santos & Santos-Silva 2019).

Ixodes ventalloi has been confused with Ixodes festai (see Ixodes festai , above), and Estrada-Peña et al. (2017) suspected that it has also been confused with Ixodes inopinatus .

Ixodes ventalloi has been found in Great Britain, but Estrada-Peña et al. (2018) and Santos & Santos-Silva (2019) suggested that this tick is not established there. However, Martyn (1988) provided several records of Ixodes ventalloi from common domestic and wild hosts of this tick in Great Britain. Petney et al. (1996) found a specimen of Ixodes ventalloi in Germany, but this tick is not considered to be established in that country ( Estrada-Peña et al. 2017).
