Amblyomma sabanerae Stoll, 1894 . Neotropical: 1) Belize , 2) Colombia , 3) Costa Rica , 4) El Salvador , 5) Guatemala , 6) Honduras , 7) Mexico (south), 8) Nicaragua , 9) Panama , 10) Suriname ( Ernst & Ernst 1977 , Robbins et al. 2001, Guzmán-Cornejo et al. 2011 , Miller et al. 2016 , Acevedo-Gutiérrez et al. 2020 , Guglielmone et al. 2021 , Romero et al. 2021 ). Amblyomma crassum , Amblyomma humerale and Amblyomma sabanerae are morphologically similar taxa, and their separation is sometimes difficult ( Guglielmone et al. 2021 ). See also Amblyomma crassum . Kelehear et al. (2017a) included French Guiana within the geographic distribution of Amblyomma sabanerae but provided no information supporting its presence there; consequently, French Guiana is provisionally excluded from the range of Amblyomma sabanerae .
