Amblyomma pattoni Neumann 1910
Description
Amblyomma pattoni (Neumann, 1910)
This is a lizard and snake parasite in the Oriental Region, with rare records from mammals and birds. It is found in moist broadleaf forests (Guglielmone et al. 2014). Amblyomma pattoni has been recorded mainly from snakes, although records from a varanid lizard and from a mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) also exist (Petney and Keirans 1996b). Amblyomma pattoni appears to have a disjunct distribution: India and Sri Lanka in South Asia, and Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and southern China (as Aponomma pseudolaeve in Teng and Jiang 1991; Petney and Keirans 1996b) in Southeast Asia.
The male and female are described and illustrated in Kaufman (1972, as Aponomma pattoni). The nymph is briefly described in Schulze (1935), as Aponomma pseudolaeve. The larva is undescribed.
