71. Amblyomma longirostre ( Koch, 1844a) .

A Neotropical species whose adults are usually found on Rodentia : Erethizontidae ; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from Passeriformes (several families). All parasitic stages have been collected from Passeriformes : Parulidae , Thamnophilidae and Tyrannidae ; adults and nymphs have been taken from Pilosa : Bradypodidae , and Rodentia : Erethizontidae ; adults alone have been found on Artiodactyla : Cervidae , Carnivora : Canidae and Mustelidae , Perissodactyla : Equidae , Rodentia : Echimyidae, Caprimulgiformes : Caprimulgidae , and Galliformes : Cracidae ; nymphs and larvae have been collected from Aves (several orders); nymphs alone have been recovered from Carnivora : Felidae , Chiroptera : Phyllostomidae , and Rodentia : Sciuridae ; and larvae alone have been found on Didelphimorphia : Didelphidae ( Guglielmone & Robbins 2018, Luz et al. 2018a). Amblyomma longirostre is a rare parasite of humans.

Note: Labruna et al. (2009) found that adults of Amblyomma geayi and Amblyomma parkeri have been misidentified as Amblyomma longirostre . The nymphs of these three species are very close morphologically ( Martins et al. 2013), and it is virtually certain that some of the many records of Amblyomma longirostre in fact represent Amblyomma geayi or Amblyomma parkeri , a situation that also applies to the larvae of these species. This problem is compounded by the recent description of Amblyomma romarioi , which also belongs to this species group. Redescriptions of Amblyomma longirostre under the names Haemalastor longirostris and Hyalomma longirostris have been excluded from the above list.
