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 : 59

101. Amblyomma pseudoconcolor Arag ã o, 1908c.

Neotropical: 1) Argentina, 2) Bolivia, 3) Brazil, 4) French Guiana, 5) Paraguay, 6) Suriname, 7) Uruguay ( Floch & Fauran 1958, Arzua et al. 2005, Guglielmone & Nava 2006, Nava et al. 2007, Mastropaolo et al. 2014, Martins et al. 2020, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

Difficulties can be encountered when attempting to morphologically separate Amblyomma pseudoconcolor from Amblyomma auricularium , a problem that remains unresolved because there is no type material for Amblyomma auricularium that would enable a comparison of these species. A degree of uncertainty therefore attends published diagnoses of Amblyomma pseudoconcolor ( Guglielmone et al. 2020, 2021). See also Amblyomma auricularium .

Floch & Fauran (1958) collected adults of Amblyomma pseudoconcolor in French Guiana, but its presence there was not confirmed by Binetruy et al. (2019), and French Guiana is provisionally included within the geographic distribution of this tick, both in Guglielmone et al. (2021) and here.

Romero-Castañón et al. (2008) allegedly found Amblyomma pseudoconcolor in southern Mexico, a record regarded as a diagnostic error by Guglielmone et al. (2021). Consequently, Mexico is excluded from the range of this tick.
