Antricola marginatus is a species of tick in the family Argasidae. Like Nothoaspis, another genus in the same family, Antricola species infest cave-dwelling bats; A. marginatus is found on Cuba and Puerto Rico. Unusually for a tick, A. marginatus shows maternal care of its offspring.These ticks are considered soft ticks, because of their subterminal capitulum (head) found in nymphs (juvenile ticks with a full complement of legs) and adult ticks.
