Note: Camicas et al. (1998) state that the larva of Amblyomma helvolum is undescribed, but it was described by Kadarsan (1971). Ghosh et al. (2018) describe the male and female of supposedly eyeless Amblyomma helvolum , probably a misidentification. See also Amblyomma fimbriatum and Amblyomma hainanense for their alleged synonymy with Amblyomma helvolum .
