Treatment

1. Archaeocroton sphenodonti ( Dumbleton, 1943) .

Australasian: 1) New Zealand ( Heath et al. 2011).

Most reports of Archaeocroton sphenodonti were published under the name Aponomma sphenodonti or Amblyomma sphenodonti , but a new genus was erected for this species by Barker & Burger (2018), and Archaeocroton sphenodonti may prove to be of importance in understanding the evolutionary history of the Ixodidae .
