The females are larger than the males as they consume a higher amount of blood than the males. The false head or the capitulum projects forward ahead of the body’s outline which is easily visible from the top. The false head of the hard ticks distinguish the species from the soft ticks. The club-shaped palps are swollen and have three apparent segments. The hard ticks prefer dwelling in brushy, wooded and moist areas.
