Amblyomma romitii Tonelli Rondelli, 1939 . Neotropical: 1) Brazil , 2) French Guiana, 3) Guyana , 4) Suriname , 5) Venezuela ( Jones et al. 1972 , Barros-Battesti et al. 2007 , Witter et al. 2016 , Binetruy et al. 2019 , Guglielmone et al. 2021 ). A few records of Amblyomma romitii have been published under the name Amblyomma tasquei , as explained in Barros-Battesti et al. (2007) . As noted under Amblyomma extraoculatum above, Amblyomma romitii was long treated as a synonym of the Oriental Amblyomma extraoculatum , but Barros-Battesti et al. (2007) validated both names. See Amblyomma extraoculatum for additional discussion of this confusion.
