41. Amblyomma flavomaculatum (Lucas, 1846). An Afrotropical species whose adults are usually found on Squamata: Varanidae and Pythonidae; immature stages have also been collected from those hosts; adult ticks alone have been recovered from Crocodilia: Crocodylidae, and Squamata: Elapidae and Iguanidae (Guglielmone et al. 2014, Charruau et al. 2017). There are no records of Amblyomma flavomaculatum causing human parasitism. M: Lucas (1846), under the name Ixodes flavomaculatus and given its current status in Horak et al. (2002) F: Tendeiro (1950), under the name Aponomma halli N: Saratsiotis (1972) L: Saratsiotis (1972) Redescriptions M: Tendeiro (1955), Kaufman (1972), Saratsiotis (1972), Matthysse and Colbo (1987) and Santos-Dias (1993), all under the name Aponomma flavomaculatum, Nowak (2010) F: Tendeiro (1955), Kaufman (1972), Saratsiotis (1972), Matthysse and Colbo (1987) and Santos-Dias (1993), all under the name Aponomma flavomaculatum, Nowak (2010) N: none L: none Note: See Amblyomma arcanum and Amblyomma inopinatum for a discussion of the difficulties involved in morphologically separating Amblyomma flavomaculatum from related species.
