中文摘要：

20世纪末随着分子生物学技术在蜱类系统发生领域的广泛应用，蜱的分类和命名发生了很大变更，然而中国已发表的蜱类科、属检索表描述不全，且依据的分类系统过时。为此，本文以Barker和Murrell（2004）采用的分类系统为基础，编制蜱总科中各科、属检索表，为蜱类的形态鉴定提供依据。

英文摘要：

Since molecular biology techniques were applied in the phylogeny of ticks in the late 20th century, changes have taken place in the nomenclature and taxonomy of ticks. However, the illustrated keys to families and genera of ticks published in China were incompetence and the taxonomic system was out of date. This article presents a manual of illustrated keys to families and genera of the superfamily Ixodoidea based on the taxonomic system proposed by Barker and Murrell （2004）, and provides a foundation for morphological identification of ticks.
