Note: Ghosh et al. (2007) list Amblyomma hebraeum as an Oriental species, but Guglielmone et al. (2014) consider it an Afrotropical tick, with numerous records from outside its natural range due to misidentifications or accidental introductions that did not result in the establishment of local populations.
