摘要

Ixodes (Afrixodes) hyracis n. sp. (Acari: Ixodidae) is described based on females ex the rock hyrax, Procavia capensis (Pallas) (Hyracoidea: Procaviidae) from South Africa. Females of this new species are similar to those of some other Afrotropical species of the subgenus Afrixodes Morel, 1966 such as I. arebiensis Arthur, 1956, I. euplecti Arthur, 1958, I. lunatus Neumann, 1907 and I. rotundatus Arthur, 1958, from which they can be distinguished by the shape of the apron, length of the anterior projection of the basis capituli, length of the auriculae, and length and shape of spurs on palpal segment I, coxae and trochanters.
