Ixodid ticks were collected from the endemic raccoon dog Nyctereutes procyonoides albus (Hornaday) and the alien raccoon Procyon lotor (Linnaeus) in southern Hokkaido, Japan. Ixodes ovatus Neumann was the most abundant species collected from both host species, followed by Ixodes persulcatus Schulze. Haemaphysalis flava Neumann, I. ovatus, I. persulcatus, and Ixodes pavlovskyi Pomerantzev were first collected from N. p. albus. Procyon lotor is a new host for I. pavlovskyi. This report is the southernmost distributional record of I. pavlovskyi.
