Note:
Voltzit (2007)
described
Amblyomma parvitarsum
under the name
Amblyomma neumanni
(
Nava
et al.
2017
)
, although some characteristic features of
Amblyomma parvitarsum
, such as orbited eyes, were overlooked.
Guglielmone
et al.
(2003)
state that the female of
Amblyomma neumanni
depicted in Pinto and Lyns de Almedia (1939) corresponds to a species in the
Amblyomma cajennense
complex, and that the identification key in
Jones
et al.
(1972)
, repeated in
López and Parra (1985)
, among others, is not useful when attempting to morphologically identify
Amblyomma neumanni
.
