Two new genera for the Australian species of the subgenus Pavlovskyella Pospelova-Shtrom, 1950 (genus Ornithodoros Koch, 1844) (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae: Ornithodorinae): Apanaskevichiella gen. nov. for O. (P.) macmillani Hoogstraal & Kohls, 1966; and Australpavlovskyella gen. nov. for O. (P.) gurneyi Warburton, 1926

Abstract

We establish Apanaskevichiella gen. nov. for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) macmillani Hoogstraal & Kohls 1966, McMillan’s Australian tree-hollow argasid; and Australpavlovskyella gen. nov. for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) gurneyi Warburton, 1926, the kangaroo soft tick. www.youtube.com/@Tick_video-j2m
