Abstract :
The genus Ornithodoros is worldwide distributed and features 113 known species.
However, some species are rare and collections are scarce. The present paper expands
the known distribution of two species of soft ticks, O. rondoniensis and O. marinkellei,
by about 1400 km to the east, in caves in two municipal districts in the state of Par?,
northern Brazil. These species were previously known only from the western Brazilian
Amazon. Furthermore, some morphological details and molecular analysis are shown.
