Ixodes radfordi Kohls, 1948

Note: although the paper with the original description of I. radfordi is dated 1947, it appeared in press in 1948 ( Doss & Anastos 1977, p. 74).

Ixodes radfordi is a rare species that was originally described by Kohls (1948) from Imphal in eastern India. Tanskul et al. (1983) reported a collection of this species from the Chiang Mai area, northwestern Thailand. Rodents of the genus Rattus are known hosts of adults; the immatures are unknown.

The female is described in Kohls (1948).
