Burridge (2011)
listed
Uganda
within the range of
Amblyomma falsomarmoreum
, a record repeated in
Guglielmone & Robbins (2018)
, but its presence there is doubtful according to
Matthysse & Colbo (1987)
, and no subsequent
bona fide
records have been found.
Amblyomma falsomarmoreum
belongs to the
Amblyomma marmoreum
complex, which
Guglielmone
et al.
(2017)
believe probably comprises more species than currently recognized. Some specimens of
Amblyomma falsomarmoreum
may have been confused with
Amblyomma marmoreum
,
Amblyomma nuttalli
or
Amblyomma sparsum
, and vice versa.
