Abstract
Limited knowledge regarding the biology and identification of the Australian tick Ixodes myrmecobii exists with only the female described to date. Here we provide a description of the male and nymph as well as a redescription of the female. All described stages are molecularly characterised using the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) and internal tran-scribed spacer 2 (ITS2) loci. An updated list of hosts is presented including the first records from humans, cattle and sev-eral native species. Information on the distribution and conservation status of this species is also included.
