Amblyomma scalpturatum Neumann, 1906 View in CoL
Its occurrence was confirmed in the Amazon area of Venezuela, Guyana, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Surinam, and Brazil. There are other records from Colombia and French Guiana ( Voltzit 2007). The South American tapir ( Tapirus terrestris) is the primary host of this tick during its adult stage ( Labruna et al. 2005; Onofrio et al. 2006). A recent review of the taxonomic status of A. incisum , A. scalpturatum , and A. latepunctatum provided us with updated host and geographical distribution data for A. scalpturatum ( Labruna et al. 2005) . The most common hosts are Perissodactyla and taiasuideos ( Onofrio et al. 2006). In Colombia, the species has been reported on monkeys (San Juan de Arama, Meta) and tapirs (Lopez 2017).
