The study introduces Apanaskevichiella for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) macmillani from Australia.
Australpavlovskyella is established for Ornithodoros (Pavlovskyella) gurneyi, known as the kangaroo soft tick.
The subgenus Pavlovskyella is reorganized with two novel genera for Australian ticks.
These classifications contribute to understanding tick diversity within the Argasidae family.

Implication

Research establishes two new genera for Ornithodoros species in Australia, indicating unique classifications.

Abstract
