Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 40

7. Amblyomma argentinae Neumann, 1905 .

Neotropical: 1) Argentina ( Guglielmone et al. 2001, 2021, Guglielmone & Nava 2006).

There are records of Amblyomma argentinae , several of them published under the name Amblyomma testudinis ( Conil, 1877, a preoccupied name), from Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela, all resulting either from the introduction of infested Argentinean tortoises, the preferred host of this tick, or misidentifications, as discussed in Nava et al. (2017), but there are no bona fide populations of Amblyomma argentinae outside Argentina.
