Amblyomma splendidum Giebel, 1877 View in CoL

This species is mainly found on the African buffaloes, Syncerus caffer nanus . It was first collected in Gabon in Cap Lopez, and later in Ngomo ( Robinson, 1926), LambarØnØ, Lastourville, Ndende and Tchibanga ( Neumann, 1899). We collected adult and nymph stages of A. splendidum by sledge sampling on buffalo ponds in LopØ reserve. This species is probably widespread in Gabon, like its host species. It was occasionally found on Kobus ellipsiprymnus in the river Nyanga.
