Ixodes algericus n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females, nymphs and larvae ex rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) from Algeria. Females of this new species possess a unique set of morphological characters allowing identification of this species from any other Ixodes Latreille, 1795 species. These characters include the lack of genital apron, length of auriculae, development of syncoxae and length of spurs on coxa I. The nymph and larva of I. algericus n. sp. can be distinguished from the potentially sympatric Ixodes s. str. species by the shape of the scutum, number of alloscutal setae, length of auriculae and shape of the hypostome.
阿尔及利亚璃眼蜱（Ixodes algericus n. sp.）（蜱螨目：硬蜱科）基于雌性、若虫和幼蜱（啮齿目：鼠科）从阿尔及利亚的啮齿动物中描述。该新种的雌性具有独特的形态特征，可将其与任何其他拉特雷伊氏革螨属（Ixodes Latreille，1795）物种区分开来。这些特征包括缺乏生殖器围裙、耳状突的长度、合跗节的发育以及腿节 I 上的刺的长度。若虫和幼虫的阿尔及利亚璃眼蜱（Ixodes algericus n. sp.）可通过盾板的形状、所有盾状突上的刚毛数量、耳状突的长度和颚的形状与可能同域的硬蜱属（Ixodes s. str.）物种区分开来。
