Amblyomma naponense ( Packard, 1869 ) . Neotropical: 1) Bolivia , 2) Brazil , 3) Colombia , 4) Costa Rica , 5) Ecuador , 6) French Guiana, 7) Guatemala , 8) Guyana , 9) Honduras , 10) Panama , 11) Peru , 12) Suriname , 13) Venezuela ( Fairchild et al. 1966 , Jones et al. 1972 , Keirans 1985 b , Monroy Lefebre & Cajas González 1988, MendozaUribe & Chávez-Chorocco 2004, Labruna et al. 2005 c , Miller et al. 2016, Rodríguez et al. 2019 , Guglielmone et al. 2021 ). Several records of Amblyomma naponense have been published under the name Amblyomma mantiquirense described by Arag ã o (1908b), a synonym of Amblyomma naponense , as discussed in Guglielmone & Nava (2014) . Kolonin (2009) did not include Guatemala and Honduras within the geographic distribution of Amblyomma naponense , but its presence in those countries was supported by Monroy Lefebre & Cajas González (1988) and Keirans (1985b) , respectively. Kassiri & Nasirian (2021) and Nasirian & Zahirnia (2021) erroneously list Amblyomma naponense as having been found in Argentina .
