Notes: Macias-Valadez (1923) referred to this species as Argas miniatus and believed that it probably occurred throughout Mexico. Hoffmann (1962) stated that Ar. sanchezi was described by Dugès in 1891; however, the original description was published in 1887. The records from CNAC—CNAC001932-33, CNAC001935, and CNAC001937-41—were originally misidentified as Ar. persicus and later re-identified as Ar. sanchezi .
