Amblyomma dissimile View in CoL
Neumann (1899) is credited for the identification of A. dissimile in Trinidad. Nuttall et al. (1926) recorded this tick in Trinidad from snakes ( Lachesis mutans ) and iguanas. Turk (1948) found Amblyomma trinitatis , a synonym of A. dissimile , on a ground lizard at St. Augustine. Aitken et al. (1968a and 1969) recorded A. dissimile , during their survey of arthropods for natural virus infection and found it on various species of snake, large lizards, caimans, large toads and tortoises. Dindial (1977) reported the presence of A. dissimile from iguanas, frogs and snakes both in Trinidad and Tobago. Voltzit (2007) also mentioned the presence of A. dissimile which feeds on reptiles and toads.
Distribution: Florida, Mexico, Georgia, West Indies to Argentina ( Cruz 2001; Voltzit 2007).
