Zusammenfassung:An engorged adult female of the tick Ixodes auritulus (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) is reported from a nestling of Cinclodes antarcticus (Aves: Passeriformes: Furnariidae) on Isla Gonzalo, Diego Ramirez Archipelago, off Chile's southernmost coast. Additional collections of I. auritulus are described from C. fuscus in Peru and southern Chile (Navarino Island), and from C. patagonicus in southern Argentina (Tierra del Fuego). These are the first published records of any tick species from members of the genus Cinclodes, which comprises about 13 species of ground- or hole-nesting ovenbirds in the Andes and Patagonia.
