Parasite-host and host-parasite checklists are provided for all species of Ixodes known from Mexico; host and locality data are from specimens housed in the Coleccion Nacional de Acaros, Instituto de Biologia, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, and from literature. Six Ixodes species (I. brunneus, I. conepati, I. dentatus, I. eadsi, I. guatemalensis, I. texanus) are newly recorded from Mexico; in addition, 17 new locality records are presented for eight species (I. affinis, I. boliviensis, I. luciae, I. rubidus, I. scapularis, I. spinipalpis, I. tancitarius, I. woodi), and eight new host records are given for five species (I. affinis, I. boliviensis, I. rubidus, I. spinipalpis, I. tancitarius).
