Abstract

A list of all the species of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae, Argasidae) known to occur naturally in the New Zealand subregion is given. Hosts, geographic distribution and relevant references are provided for each species. Three erroneous records published recently, two in a book on New Zealand biodiversity and one in a seabird tick review are corrected.
