摘要

Ixodes (Afrixodes) colboi n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex the checkered elephant shrew, Rhynchocyon cirnei Peters (Macroscelidea: Macroscelididae) from Zambia. Females of this new species can be distinguished from other Afrotropical species of the subgenus Afrixodes Morel, 1966 by the development of carinae and scutal punctations, shape of apron and anterior projection of basis capituli, length and development of spurs on palpal segment I, coxae and trochanters, and the size and development of the syncoxae.
