• In addition to having a hard shield on their dorsal surfaces, known as the scutum, hard ticks have a beak-like structure at the front containing the mouthparts, whereas soft ticks have their mouthparts on the underside of their bodies.
• They are known as 'hard ticks' because they have a scutum or hard shield, which the other major family of ticks, the 'soft ticks' (Argasidae), lack.
• Some ancient writers thought that the Romans had adopted the maniples and the scutum when they fought against the Samnites in the first or second Samnite War (343–341 BC, 327–304 BC).
• On the infantry level, the Roman Army adapted new weapons: the pilum (a piercing javelin), the gladius (a short thrusting sword), and the scutum (a large convex shield) providing protection against most attacks without the inflexibility of the phalanx.
• The name, like that of the French écu and the Spanish and Portuguese escudo, was derived from the Latin scutum ("shield").
• In human anatomy, Prussak's space is the small middle ear recess, bordered laterally by the flaccid part of Shrapnell's membrane, superiorly by the scutum (a sharp bony spur that is formed by the superior wall of the external auditory canal) and lateral malleal ligament, inferiorly by the lateral process of the malleus, and medially by the neck of the malleus.
• There is a distinct V-shaped suture between the mesonotal prescutum and scutum (near the level of the wing bases).
• From the early 3rd century, legionaries and cavalrymen began to wear their swords on the left side, perhaps because the scutum had been abandoned and the spatha had replaced the gladius.

• The scutum is armed with very evident spines, while the anepisternum, postalar callus, and scutellum have strong bristles.
• Soft ticks in the family Argasidae are characterised by the mouth being on the underside, and thus not visible from above, and by having no rigid scutum, the sclerotised plate on the anterior dorsal surface, just posterior to the head, possessed by hard ticks.
• Most pile is white or pale yellow, with a few spots of black pile on the scutum, the posterior margin of the posterior anepisternum, and the lower half of the katepisternum.
• The scutum is shining black, with opaque linear stripes and the lateral stripes being entirely yellow and the median stripe being cinereous (ashy gray) but only moderately distinct, and with a faint gray submedian stripe.
• It is distinguished from other members of the genus by having ungrooved growth ridges on the scutum and by the parietes having no spines or spiny projections.
