Amblyomma crassipes ( Neumann, 1901 )

Guglielmone, Alberto A., Nava, Santiago & Robbins, Richard G., 2023, Geographic distribution of the hard ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Ixodidae) of the world by countries and territories, Zootaxa 5251 (1), pp. 1-274 : 43

28. Amblyomma crassipes ( Neumann, 1901) .

Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) Laos, 3) Thailand, 4) Vietnam ( Kaufman 1972, Phan Trong 1977, Kolonin 1995b, Chen et al. 2010, Vongphayloth et al. 2016, Petney et al. 2019).

Most records of this tick have been published under the name Aponomma crassipes , a name considered to be a synonym of Amblyomma fuscolineatum (under the genus Aponomma ) in Camicas et al. (1998) and Kolonin (2009). Nevertheless, Kaufman (1972), Horak et al. (2002), Guglielmone et al. (2010b, 2020), Guglielmone & Nava (2014) and Petney et al. (2019) have treated Amblyomma crassipes as a valid species, a view also accepted here.

Burridge & Simmons (2003), Santos Dias (1993b) and Burridge (2011) included Cambodia within the geographic distribution of Amblyomma crassipes , but no bona fide records for that country have been found.
