Abstract

Dermacentor Variabilis (Say) is recorded for the first time from southeastern Washington and northern Idaho. The numerous records from these areas indicate that this tick is well established in this region and considerably extends its range and distribution. Adults of this species are active much later in the summer than those of D. andersoni, thereby extending the time people can be exposed to tick-borne diseases in this region.
