Margaropus is a genus of ticks, characterized as inornate, having eyes, lacking festoons, and with the legs of the male increasing in size from pair I to IV with the segments enlarged, giving them a beaded appearance, from which the genus name was taken, margaritopus signifying beady-legged;[2] the species name memorialized naturalist and entomologist Wilhelm von Winthem.

The genus currently includes three species:[3]

  • Margaropus reidi, Hoogstraal, 1956, the Sudanese beady-legged tick[4]
  • Margaropus wileyi, Walker & Laurence, 1973, the East African giraffe tick[5]
  • Margaropus winthemi, Karsch, 1879, the South African winter horse tick or beady-legged tick[6]

In their native range, Margaropus species ticks parasitize larger land animals, including the three largest southern African wild ruminants, giraffes, Giraffa camelopardalis; African buffaloes, Syncerus caffer; and common eland, Taurotragus oryx.[7]
