Navis
Navis is a genus of ticks belonging to the family Argasidae. It is one of six genera in the Argasid subfamily Argasinae
The genus is known from nests of sociable weaver birds in the Northern Cape, South Africa. The genus name is Latin for ship, as the tick's general shape, with parallel margins which round to a narrowed anterior, evokes the distinct appearance of a ship.
