Popis:	Nomenclatural stability is a key challenge within the area of tick taxonomy due to the widescale loss of old type material, errors in the designation and usage of binomials, and the common description of synonymous species, historically. Ixodes anatis is an important co-endangered tick species endemic to New Zealand and its nomenclatural stability is crucial for those studying its ecology and conservation biology. Following its complete redescription earlier this year, the authors discovered two further syntypes of I. anatis, in addition to the specimen recorded in the redescription. One of these specimens, an intact female, is elevated to the rank of lectotype in accordance with the IUZN code, to ensure nomenclatural stability of this species.
