Abstract
Adults of the ixodid ticks Haemaphysalis osiatica and Rhipicephalus ha emaphysaloides and nymphs of an undetermined species of Amblyomma are reported from a Laotian specimen of the Asian golden cat, Catopuma tem minckii, and an adult of Ixodes ovatus is reported from a Laotian spec imen of Owston's palm civet, Chrotogale owstoni. These are the first p ublished records of any ticks from either carnivore and the first reco rd of I. ovatus from the Lao People's Democratic Republic.
