7. Amblyomma argentinae Neumann, 1905 .

A Neotropical species, all of whose parasitic stages are usually found on Testudines : Testudinidae ; adults and nymphs have been collected from Squamata : Viperidae ; adults alone have been recovered from Testudines : Chelidae , Squamata : Boidae , and Anura : Bufonidae , and there is a record from Passeriformes : Turdidae . There are no records of Amblyomma argentinae causing human parasitism.

M: Conil (1877), under the name Ixodes testudinis , preoccupied, a synonymy first recognized in Camicas et al. (1998); see note below

L: Estrada-Peña et al. (1993), under the name Amblyomma testudinis

Redescriptions

F: Lahille (1905), Robinson (1926) and Boero (1957), all under the name Amblyomma testudinis, Voltzit (2007) , Nava et al. (2017)

L: none

Note: Guglielmone et al. (2003) state that the descriptions of the male and female of Amblyomma argentinae in Conil (1877 , as Ixodes testudinis ) are sufficient to identify this species, but the spurs of coxae I and IV are not well depicted.
