116. Amblyomma squamosum Kohls, 1953a View in CoL .

Remote islands: 1) Pacific Ocean Island (central) of Guam ( Vander Velde & Vander Velde 2013).

Amblyomma squamosum had been treated as an Oriental species in Guglielmone et al. (2014, 2020) but is now regarded as a species confined to remote Pacific islands. The only known specimens of this tick are those collected in 1945 on Guam and used by Kohls (1953a) to describe this species ( Vander Velde & Vander Velde 2013).
