ABSTRACT
Ixodes bocatorensis n. sp. (Acari Ixodidae), is described based on adults ex agoutis (Rodentia Dasyproctidae), pacas (Rodentia Cuniculidae) and "tapir and sloth" (Perissodactyla Tapiridae and Pilosa) from Colombia, Panama and Venezuela. Adults of I. bocatorensis n. sp. are similar to those of I. lasallei Méndez & Ortiz, 1958 but can be distinguished by the scutum dimensions, punctation pattern, gnathosoma and palpi measurements and their ratios, basis capituli anterior angle and shape of the spur of palpal segment I ventrally. For comparative purposes the female of I. lasallei is redescribed and the true male of this species is described for the first time. Studied adults of I. lasallei were found on agoutis, pacas and ocelot (Carnivora Felidae) in Colombia, Peru and Venezuela.
