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 : 60

107. Amblyomma romitii Tonelli Rondelli, 1939 .

Neotropical: 1) Brazil, 2) French Guiana, 3) Guyana, 4) Suriname, 5) Venezuela ( Jones et al. 1972, Barros-Battesti et al. 2007, Witter et al. 2016, Binetruy et al. 2019, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

A few records of Amblyomma romitii have been published under the name Amblyomma tasquei , as explained in Barros-Battesti et al. (2007).

As noted under Amblyomma extraoculatum above, Amblyomma romitii was long treated as a synonym of the Oriental Amblyomma extraoculatum , but Barros-Battesti et al. (2007) validated both names. See Amblyomma extraoculatum for additional discussion of this confusion.
