2. Bothriocroton concolor ( Neumann, 1899) .

Australasian: 1) Australia ( Beati et al. 2008).

Several records of Bothriocroton concolor have been published under the name Aponomma concolor .

Kaufman (1972) listed Bothriocroton oudemansi as a synonym of Bothriocroton concolor (under the former genus Aponomma in both cases), and treated the latter species as present in the Australasian portion of Indonesia, but the representative of this genus there is Bothriocroton oudemansi ( Keirans 1985b, page 1199). Still, Santos Dias (1993b, under Aponomma ) and Burridge (2011) included Indonesia within the geographic range of Bothriocroton concolor , although there are no bona fide records of this tick from that country. Owen (2011) stated that Bothriocroton concolor or possibly Bothriocroton oudemansi is established in Papua New Guinea; in fact, Bothriocroton oudemansi is the species found in Papua New Guinea ( Beati et al. 2008).
