Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 31

205. Ixodes rugicollis Schulze & Schlottke, 1929b .

Palearctic: 1) Austria, 2) France, 3) Germany, 4) Poland, 5) Romania, 6) Switzerland ( Feider 1965, Visser et al. 2011, Nowak-Chmura & Siuda 2012, Petney et al. 2012, EstradaPeña et al. 2017, Rubel et al. 2021, Rubel & Brugger 2022).

Clifford et al. (1973) treated Ixodes rugicollis as a doubtful species, but it is valid.

Hornok et al. (2017c) found Ixodes rugicollis in Hungary, but this tick is not listed as present there in Hornok et al. (2020a), and Hungary is therefore considered outside the geographic range of this tick.
