Amblyomma oblongoguttatum Koch, 1844 View in CoL
It is distributed in Bolivia, Belize, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Guyana, French Guiana, south of Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Surinam, and Venezuela (Lopez 2017). It infests humans, and domestic and wild animals ( Onofrio et al. 2006). In Colombia, it has been found parasitizing Dasyprocta fuliginosa (agouti) and Tayassu pecari (collared peccary) in San Juan de Arama, Meta ( Wramc 1998; Lopez 2017). This species has mostly been reported in Panama, rather than in Colombia, in zopilote Catharista urubu ( Osorno-Mesa 1942) . New updates, geographic distribution, ecology and pathogenic role in humans are required.
