Caption:
This illustration depicts a full body, ventral view of an Argasid soft tick representative that is a member of the genus, Ornithodoros, on the left. On the right, you can see two enlarged views focusing on the tick’s mouthparts (above), and integumentary surface (below). Note that the mouthpart morphology includes a toothed hypostome, while the enlargement of the tick’s exterior, reveals the presence of a mammillated integument.
