Abstract
Type depositories are included for all taxa and are referenced using the acronyms listed below. Some collections in the USA have been merged and new names have been given to them. For example, the former Rocky Mountain Laboratories and Harry Hoogstraal collections are now in the U.S. National Tick Collection. Throughout, we have used the current acronym, even when the original description states otherwise.
