131. Amblyomma tuberculatum Marx, 1894 in Hubbard (1894) .
A Nearctic species whose adults and nymphs are usually found on Testudines: Testudinidae, but all parasitic stages have been collected from Testudinidae; nymphs alone have been recovered from Squamata: Phrynosomatidae; and larvae alone have been collected from Mammalia (several orders), and Aves (several orders). Amblyomma tuberculatum is a frequent parasite of humans. M: Hubbard (1894)
