Amblyomma triguttatum Koch, 1844a . Australasian: 1) Australia , 2) Papua New Guinea ( Roberts 1970 , Burridge 2011 , Owen 2011 ). Roberts (1962a) divided Amblyomma triguttatum into four subspecies, which may indicate that more than one species exists under the name Amblyomma triguttatum . The presence of Amblyomma triguttatum in Papua New Guinea is based on Owen (2011) , a record that is considered provisionally valid here, although Hoogstraal (1982) does not recognize its presence that country.
