Note: redescriptions published prior to the study of Aragão and Fonseca (1961b) should be considered cautiously because of confusion between Amblyomma aureolatum (sometimes named and redescribed as Amblyomma striatum ) and Amblyomma ovale (sometimes named and redescribed as Amblyomma fossum ). Voltzit (2007) presents a figure of the female of Amblyomma aureolatum with a broken hypostome and a figure of the male with an unusual spur on coxa IV, but it is not clear that these descriptions are from bona fide Amblyomma aureolatum .
