Amblyomma sabanerae Stoll

Testudines (N, A): Body surface.

CAMPECHE: NA: Rhinoclemmys areolata ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) . CHIAPAS: Aquacaste: Rhinoclemmys pulcherrima ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) ; Soconusco: Rhinoclemmys pulcherrima ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) .

Notes: Two toad genera occur in Río Cuale (Puerto Vallarta), both originally included in Bufo ( Frost et al., 2006) . The genus Bufo is not considered present in Mexico, but due to the lack of specific host determination, we could not assign it to any of the two genera recorded for this locality.

NA (A): Body surface.

NAYARIT: NA: Rhinoclemmys sp. ( Hoffmann, 1962) ; 15 mi N Tepic: Rhinoclemmys pulcherrima ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) . NA: NA: reptile ( Keirans & Durden, 2001) (RML). QUINTANA ROO: NA: Rhinoclemmys areolata (RML) ; NW Chetumal: Rhinoclemmys areolata ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) ; Cozumel: Rhinoclemmys areolata ( Hoffmann, 1962) ( Ernst & Ernst, 1977) (RML) .

Specimens deposited: RML (30059, 33572, 33597, 120370, 66189, 66201, 66204, 66210, 66213, 66225, 66226)

The numbers 66226 and 66201 are included in the range of accession numbers (RML) published by Ernest & Ernest (1977); however, the localities were not refered by these authors. Details of the localities presented here are based on the re-examination of these specimens deposited in the USNTC.

Notes: The host species from Nayarit recorded by Hoffmann (1962) was misidentified as Geoemyda sp.
