Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 46

42. Amblyomma fulvum Neumann, 1899 .

Neotropical: 1) northern South America (Keirans 1972, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

Keirans (1972) redescribed the male holotype, the only known specimen of this tick, but the text and figures are in disagreement, and Guglielmone et al. (2020, 2021) state that a new redescription is needed.

Amblyomma fulvum was collected at an uncertain locality in northern South America, which Neumann (1899) listed as “ Brésil?” The alleged records of Amblyomma fulvum from Brazil and French Guiana in Figueiredo et al. (1999) and in Kelehear et al. (2017a) are not treated as valid here.
