94. Amblyomma pattoni ( Neumann, 1910a) .

An Oriental species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Squamata : Colubridae and Elapidae ; adults and nymphs have been collected from Squamata : Varanidae ; adults alone have been recovered from Squamata : Pythonidae , Artiodactyla : Bovidae , Carnivora : Herpestidae , and Passeriformes : Chloropseidae . There are no records of Amblyomma pattoni causing human parasitism.

M: Neumann (1910a) , under the name Aponomma pattoni and given its current status in Horak et al. (2002)

F: Schulze (1935d), under the name Amblyomma pseudolaeve , another synonym of Amblyomma pattoni , but see note below

N: Schulze (1935d), under the name Amblyomma pseudolaeve

L: undescribed

Note: the female of Amblyomma pattoni is illustrated in Patton and Cragg (1913, under the genus Aponomma ), but no text description is provided. Both Amblyomma pattoni and Amblyomma pseudolaeve are treated as valid in Teng and Jiang (1991), Santos Dias (1993, under Aponomma ) and Sun et al. (2016), but Kaufman (1972) and Camicas et al. (1998), also under the name Aponomma pseudolaeve , and Guglielmone and Nava (2014) treat this name as a synonym of Amblyomma pattoni . Kaufman (1972) discusses the problems attending morphological identification of this species, an issue that merits further research.
