Abstract

Ixodes victoriensis Nuttall, 1916, a species of tick from wombats (Vombatus ursinus) from Victoria, Australia was described based on two adult female specimens. There has been one subsequent record only, and no records of males, nymphs or larvae. Here, I present a re-description of I. victoriensis adult female, and provide a description for the male, nymph and larva. I also provide new host records from potoroos (Potorous longipes and P. tridactylus), and new location records in Victoria and Tasmania.
