Abstract
Eight adult specimens of Ixodes brunneus (Acari: Ixodidae) were collected in Delaware via a combination of methods. The first was an engorged female recovered from a deceased Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), a window strike victim, in Kent County. The other seven were four males and three females, all apparently unfed, collected by flagging and dragging vegetation in Kent, New Castle, and Sussex Counties during routine tick surveillance. These collections represent a new host record as well as new state and county records, and indicate a statewide presence of this species.
