81. Amblyomma neumanni Ribaga, 1902 .

A Neotropical species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Artiodactyla : Bovidae , but they have also been collected from Artiodactyla : Cervidae , Carnivora : Canidae , and Perissodactyla : Equidae ; adults and nymphs have been recovered from Artiodactyla : Suidae and Tayassuidae , and Pilosa : Myrmecophagidae . Amblyomma neumanni is a very frequent parasite of humans.

Note: Voltzit (2007) described Amblyomma parvitarsum under the name Amblyomma neumanni ( Nava et al. 2017) , although some characteristic features of Amblyomma parvitarsum , such as orbited eyes, were overlooked. Guglielmone et al. (2003) state that the female of Amblyomma neumanni depicted in Pinto and Lyns de Almedia (1939) corresponds to a species in the Amblyomma cajennense complex, and that the identification key in Jones et al. (1972), repeated in López and Parra (1985), among others, is not useful when attempting to morphologically identify Amblyomma neumanni .
