Amblyomma goeldii Neumann, 1899 . Neotropical: 1) Brazil , 2) French Guiana , 3) Suriname ( Floch & Fauran 1958 , Voltzit 2007 , Martins et al. 2015 , Guglielmone et al. 2021 ). Early records of Amblyomma goeldii are confusing because Neumann (1899) described a female of Amblyomma rotundatum instead of the female of Amblyomma goeldii , which was first described by Floch & Abonnenc (1941) using the name Amblyomma ininii . Records of Amblyomma goeldii from Colombia and Guyana in Robinson (1926) are not considered bona fide , while the Jamaican specimens recorded by Thompson (1950) were in fact Amblyomma rotundatum ( Kohls 1969c ) . All three of these countries are therefore excluded from the range of Amblyomma goeldii .
