Amblyomma fimbriatum Koch, 1844 View in CoL

This species occurs in the Australasian and Oriental Regions, but its distribution appears to be disjunct as it is also found in the eastern island countries of Southeast Asia (the Philippines, Borneo, Celebes), and in Irian Jaya and New Guinea through to southern Victoria and Western Australia, as well as in the Solomon and Admiralty Islands ( Anastos 1950; Kohls 1950, 1957; Roberts 1970; Kaufman 1972; Petney and Keirans 1996b). It has also been recorded from peninsular Malaysia (as Aponomma fimbriatum, Petney and Keirans 1996b ). This species therefore requires revision. It is predominantly a parasite of reptiles but has on occasion been found on birds and mammals ( Petney and Keirans 1996b).

The male, female and nymph are described in Roberts (1970, as Aponomma fimbriatum ). Voltzit & Keirans (2002) treat A. fimbriatum (usually considered eyeless and with one spur on coxa I) as a synonym of A. helvolum (with eyes and two spurs on coxa I) without any further elaboration.
