Note: Camicas et al. (1998) ignore the description of the nymph of Amblyomma brasiliense in Aragão (1908a). Welschen et al. (2012) caution that the redescriptions of Amblyomma brasiliense in Dios and Knopoff (1930, 1934 ) are from doubtful specimens, and these redescriptions have been excluded from the above lists.
