Abstract: Objective　To review Hyalomma excavatum Koch, which was first captured from the Italian leather at Nansha port, Guangzhou, China, and to provide reference for inspection and quarantine work at the port. Methods　The adults of H. excavatum were characterized based on specimens and the relevant literature on Ixodidae. Hyalomma excavatum was further compared with closely related species, H. anatolicum. Results　Hyalomma excavatum was intercepted from imported Italian leather. This was the first time that H. excavatum had been discovered in foreign freighters. Hyalomma excavatum was morphologically characterized in this study. Comparison was made between H. excavatum and H. anatolicum in terms of taxonomy, biology, and importance in disease transmission. Conclusion　There is a high risk that exotic ticks are imported from goods. More attention should be paid and strict quarantine supervision should be carried out.

摘要： 目的　介绍盾陷璃眼蜱,以便于口岸检疫人员及相关人员参考。方法　根据截获标本及相关文献资料,详细描述盾陷璃眼蜱成蜱的形态特征;并将其与近似种小亚璃眼蜱进行比较。结果　盾陷璃眼蜱为南沙口岸从意大利入境生牛皮中截获,也是我国首次从国外货船上截获。详细描述了盾陷璃眼蜱的形态特征,并将其与近似种小亚璃眼蜱的分类学、生物学和传播疾病重要性进行了比较和讨论。结论　蜱类有较高的输入风险,应加强对外来蜱和入境相关货物的检疫监管。
