Total 24 valid species belongs to 6 subgenera in genus Ixodes had been documented in China. Of them, Eschatocephalus (2 species), Scaphixodes (2 species); Partipalpiger (1 species), Pholeoixodes (3 species) Ixodiopsis (1 species) and the largest subgenus Ixodes (15 species) were involved. Fortunately, we found another 3 new record species, namely I. (Ixodes) apronophorus Schulze, 1924, I. (Ixodes)pavlovskyi Pomerantzav, 1946 and I. (Trichotoixodes) frontalis (Panzer, 1798), from the specimens deposited in medical entomology gallery of China, which increase a new subgenus Trichotoixodes to the tick fauna in China. In the present paper, the taxonomy characteristics of the new record species were described briefly based on the specimens examined and keys to the genus Ixodes were also updated.
在中国,已记录到硬蜱属6个亚属中的24个有效物种。其中包括埃氏硬蜱亚属(2种)、船首硬蜱亚属(2种)、分须硬蜱亚属(1种)、光硬蜱亚属(3种)、硬蜱形亚属(1种)以及最大的硬蜱亚属(15种)。幸运的是,我们从中国医学昆虫标本馆保存的标本中发现了另外3个新记录物种,即1924年的舒氏硬蜱(硬蜱亚属)、1946年的帕氏硬蜱(硬蜱亚属)和1798年的额硬蜱(毛硬蜱亚属),这为中国蜱类区系增添了一个新的毛硬蜱亚属。在本文中,基于所检查的标本简要描述了新记录物种的分类学特征,并对硬蜱属的检索表进行了更新。
