title: [Anomalohimalaya lotozkyi sp. n., a new species of ixodid ticks from the Peter the First Range (Ixodoidea, Ixodidae)].
abstract: Anomalohimalaya lotozkyi sp. n., the second species of this genus, was found in Tadzhikistan, Peter I ridge, at the height of 2700 m above the sea level in rocky locality with xerophilous vegetation on Alticola argentatus. In June, 1977 there were found larvae and nymphs of the species. After feeding larvae and then nymphs females and males were obtained. All phases of the life cycle differ distinctly from those of the type species An. lama Hoog., Kais. et Mitch., 1970, from Himalayas. The diagnosis of the genus Anomalohimalaya is specified. This genus combines the characters of Haemaphysalis Koch and Rhipicephalus Koch and is of great significance for more precise definition of phylogeny of the subfamily Amblyomminae Banks.
