Amblyomma squamosum
Kohls, 1953a
.
Remote islands: 1) Pacific Ocean Island (central) of
Guam
(
Vander Velde & Vander Velde 2013
).
Amblyomma squamosum
had been treated as an Oriental species in Guglielmone
et al.
(2014, 2020) but is now regarded as a species confined to remote Pacific islands. The only known specimens of this tick are those collected in 1945 on
Guam
and used by
Kohls (1953a)
to describe this species (
Vander Velde & Vander Velde 2013
).
