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 : 63

119. Amblyomma tapirellum Dunn, 1933 .

Neotropical: 1) Belize, 2) Colombia, 3) Costa Rica, 4) Nicaragua, 5) Panama ( Fairchild et al. 1966, Varma 1973, Jiménez et al. 2015, Acevedo-Gutiérrez et al. 2020, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

Guglielmone et al. (2020, 2021) stated that redescription of the type specimens of Amblyomma tapirellum would be helpful in better understanding the morphological definition of this species.

Fairchild et al. (1966) included Venezuela within the geographic distribution of Amblyomma tapirellum , but its presence there was not confirmed by Jones et al. (1972), and Guglielmone et al. (2003) excluded Venezuela from the range of this tick.
