The larva of Argas (Persicargas) keiransi Estrada-Peña, Venzal & González-Acuña n. sp. is described from specimens collected on the neck of a chimango, Milvago c. chimango (Aves: Falconiformes) in the Chillán, Chile, in the Sub-Antarctic biogeographical region. The larva of the new species shares the tarsus I setal formula with A. (P.) giganteus, these being the only two Persicargas species with three pairs of ventral setae plus both av4 and pv4 setae. However, it is unique in having a dorsal plate "V" or "U" shaped, with the anterior end open, without the typical reticulated pattern present in the remaining species of the genus.
新物种凯尔兰西锐缘蜱(波斯锐缘蜱属)(学名:Argas (Persicargas) keiransi Estrada-Peña, Venzal & González-Acuña n. sp.)的幼虫是根据在智利奇廉市亚南极生物地理区域采集于灰头美洲鹫(学名:Milvago c. chimango,鸟纲:隼形目)颈部的标本描述的。新物种的幼虫与巨型锐缘蜱(波斯锐缘蜱属)具有相同的跗节I刚毛公式,这是仅有的两种具有三对腹侧刚毛以及av4和pv4刚毛的波斯锐缘蜱属物种。然而,它的独特之处在于其背板呈“V”形或“U”形,前端开口,没有该属其他物种中典型的网状图案。
