Amblyomma tapirellum Dunn, 1933 View in CoL
Originally described from Panama, this mite has also been collected in Nicaragua, Colombia, Belize, and Venezuela ( Dunn 1933; Guglielmone et al. 2003; Onofrio et al. 2006; Voltzit 2007; Lopez 2017). Tapir ( Tapirus bairdii ) is the main host for this tick; however, this species has also been collected from domestic and wild animals such as Odocoileus virginianus and Pecari tajacu . Recently, a new ecological relation between A. tapirellum and arboreal mammals such as monkeys has been proposed ( Loaiza et al. 2013). In Colombia, reports associate this tick with "Puerco de monte" peccary and Alouatta palliata (howler monkey) ( Wramc 1998).
