51. Amblyomma goeldii Neumann, 1899 .

Neotropical: 1) Brazil, 2) French Guiana, 3) Suriname ( Floch & Fauran 1958, Voltzit 2007, Martins et al. 2015, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

Early records of Amblyomma goeldii are confusing because Neumann (1899) described a female of Amblyomma rotundatum instead of the female of Amblyomma goeldii , which was first described by Floch & Abonnenc (1941) using the name Amblyomma ininii .

Records of Amblyomma goeldii from Colombia and Guyana in Robinson (1926) are not considered bona fide, while the Jamaican specimens recorded by Thompson (1950) were in fact Amblyomma rotundatum ( Kohls 1969c) . All three of these countries are therefore excluded from the range of Amblyomma goeldii .
