Amblyomma pattoni (Neumann, 1910) . Oriental: 1) China (south), 2) India , 3) Laos , 4) Myanmar , 5) Sri Lanka , 6) Thailand , 7) Vietnam ( Tanskul et al. 1983 , Keirans 1985b , Kolonin 1995b , Chen et al. 2010 , Liyanaarachchi et al. 2015 b , Vongphayloth et al. 2016, Petney et al. 2019 , Zhang, G. et al. 2019, Zhang, Y.K. et al. 2019). Most records of Amblyomma pattoni have been published under the name Aponomma pattoni , and a few have appeared under the names Aponomma pseudolaeve or Amblyomma pseudolaeve , synonyms of Amblyomma pattoni ( Kaufman 1972 , Camicas et al. 1998 , Guglielmone & Nava 2014 , Guglielmone et al. 2020 ). Authors such as Teng & Jiang (1991) , Santos Dias (1993b) and Sun et al. (2016) treated Aponomma pseudolaeve or Amblyomma pseudolaeve as valid. Zhao et al. (2021) do not recognize the presence of Amblyomma pattoni in China .
