Abstract
The segmental chaetotaxy of the legs of some larval ixodid ticks has been studied, employing the system of nomenclature currently used for the mesostigmatic mites. Preliminary results indicate that in common with the larval Mesostigmata, the family Ixodidae has a relatively constant larval leg chaetotaxy which allows the subfamilies and tribes to be distinguished on the basis of the chaetotaxy of the tibiae.Keywords
