Extract

Many workers have described abnormal forms and structures in ticks. Neuman (1899) was the first who recorded some abnormal Ixodidae. Brumpt (1934) reviewed the literature and recorded some new interesting abnormalities. The posterior region of the body of one of the specimens described by Brumpt had two ani and four stigmata. Brumpt considered that only the Ixodidae display abnormal forms, but since then Robinson (1943–4) described abnormalities in laboratory-bred Ornithodorus moubata. He also noticed a ‘partially twinned’ tick which mated, and laid eggs which developed into normal ticks.
