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 : 133

1. Robertsicus elaphensis ( Price, 1959) .

Nearctic: 1) Mexico (north), 2) USA ( Keirans & Degenhardt 1985, Kolonin 2009, Guzmán-Cornejo et al. 2011).

Earlier records of Robertsicus elaphensis were reported as Aponomma elaphense or elaphensis , and Amblyomma elaphense or elaphensis , but a new genus was erected for this species by Barker & Burger (2018).

Camicas et al. (1998) regarded this tick as present in the Nearctic and Neotropical Zoogeographic Regions, but no record from the Neotropics was found when compiling this analysis.
