Extract

1. The description of the female and nymph of the so-called variety I. percavatus var. rothschildi is enlarged.

2. As far as the evidence is available it parasitizes marine birds and is probably a three-host tick.

3. Its systematic affinities are discussed, and since I. percavatus is synonymous with I. auritulus, then the variety of Nuttall & Warburton should be raised to the specific rank of I. rothschildi.
