title: Ticks of South Carolina (Acari: Ixodoidea).
abstract: County and host records are reported for 19 species of ticks from South Carolina: Amblyomma americanum, Amblyomma maculatum, Amblyomma tuberculatum, Aponomma latum, Boophilus annulatus, Boophilus microplus, Dermacentor albipictus, Dermacentor variablis, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, Ixodes affinis, Ixodes brunneus, Ixodes cookei, Ixodes marxi, Ixodes minor, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes texanus, Ixodes woodi, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Ornithodoros capensis. Ixodes woodi is recorded from South Carolina for the first time. Boophilus annulatus and Boophilus microplus probably no longer exist in South Carolina, and Aponomma latum is an exotic species that is not established in South Carolina. Brief notes follow each species.
