The
type
locality of
Margaropus winthemi
is “Valparaíso,” an incorrect reference to a major Chilean city.
Bedford (1920)
explained that a common name for this tick in
South Africa
was “
Argentine
tick.” However, there are no confirmed records of
Margaropus winthemi
from South America (Neotropical Zoogeographic Region).
