| flat females fêmeas não-ingurgitadas Explanation: The term flat refers to how these ticks look, before they have taken a meal. A literal translation would be "chatas", as opposed to "plenas de sangue". However, I think your detective work has led to a more technical interpretation of the term, which is very satisfactory.
