Amblyomma multipunctum Neumann, 1899 View in CoL
This species is present in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela ( Onofrio et al. 2006; Labruna et al. 2013). It parasitizes mammals of the order Perissodactyla . Adults and nymphs of A. multipunctum are found in highland, humid montane forest, and páramo areas, between 2,000 and 4,000 m a.s.l. ( Onofrio et al. 2006; Labruna et al. 2013). In Colombia, Kohls (1956) reported two males and two females of A. multipunctum from a mountain tapir, and Tapirus pinchaque (Roulin) in Loro River on the border of the Huila, Meta and Caqueta departments, in November of 1967 (US National Tick Collection, RML 49127) ( Voltzit 2007; Lopez 2017).
