In the tarsi of all legs of Ixodes persulcatus, Dermacentor daghestanicus, Rhipicephalus turanicus and Hyalomma asiaticum the multicellular gland was observed. The gland is formed by a single layer of glandular cells that form a central cavity where two ciliary structures in a cuticular (scolopoid) sheath are situated. A possible function of the gland is discussed in the article.
