Leach, W.E. (1815) A tabular view of the external characters of four classes of animals, which Linné arranged under Insecta: with the distribution of the genera composing three of these classes into orders, and descriptions of several new genera and species. Transactions of the Linnean Society of London, 11, 306–400.
Type depository: BMNH: syntypes? (unspecified developmental stages), holotype? (female)
Type locality: England, presumably
Type host: hedgehog
Comments: on page 25 of Keirans & Hillyard (2001) it is stated under the sub-heading “ TYPE SERIES ” that Ixodes hexagonus was described from an unknown number of syntypes. This is followed by the subheading “ TYPE MATERIAL,” where the authors state that a presumed holotype (female) of this species is held in the BMNH.
