South American representatives of the Pavlovskyella subgenus include 3 species: Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) brasiliensis Arag\u00e3o, Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) furcosus Neumann, and Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) rostratus Arag\u00e3o. Here, we describe a fourth species based on morphological and mitogenomic evidence of ticks collected in burrows of unknown hosts in central Chile. The larva of the new species separates from other South American soft ticks by the following combination of characters: 13 pairs of dorsolateral setae, dorsal plate hexagonal, hypostome blunt with denticles from apex almost to the base. Adults of this new species lack cheeks, possess a dorsoventral groove, and have humps, similar to O. (P.) brasiliensis; however, they lack bulging structures on the flanks of idiosoma. Moreover, females and males differ from O. (P.) rostratus by having 3 humps instead of spurs in tarsi I and from O. (P.) furcosus because of their smaller size and thinner anterior lip of the genital aperture in females. The phylogenetic analysis performed with mitogenomes of the Argasidae family depicts the new Pavlovskyella species from Chile in a monophyletic clade with other South American species in the subgenus, confirming a regional group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjad091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,17]],"date-time":"2023-07-17T00:16:49Z","timestamp":1689553009000},"page":"968-977","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Description of a new <i>Pavlovskyella<\/i> species (Acari: Argasidae) from Chile"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3547-6466","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebasti\u00e1n","family":"Mu\u00f1oz-Leal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ciencia Animal, Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad de Concepci\u00f3n , Chill\u00e1n , Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4633-7456","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 M","family":"Venzal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratorio de Vectores y enfermedades transmitidas, Departamento de Ciencias Biol\u00f3gicas, CENUR Litoral Norte \u2013 Salto, Universidad de la Rep\u00fablica , Rivera 1350, CP 50000 Salto , Uruguay"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6243-4096","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander R","family":"Kneubehl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine , Houston, TX , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4802-5779","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Job E","family":"Lopez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine , Houston, TX , USA"},{"name":"Department of Molecular Virology and Microbiology, Baylor College of Medicine , Houston, TX , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7325-3362","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thiago F","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c1rea T\u00e9cnica de Doen\u00e7as Vinculadas a Vetores e Hospedeiros Intermedi\u00e1rios, Instituto Pasteur , Secretaria de Estado da Sa\u00fade de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP , Brazil"},{"name":"Departamento de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria Preventiva e Sa\u00fade Animal, Faculdade de Medicina Veterin\u00e1ria e Zootecnia, Universidade de S\u00e3o Paulo , Av.
