Amblyomma incisum Neumann 1906

Description

58. Amblyomma incisum Neumann, 1906.

Neotropical: 1) Argentina, 2) Bolivia, 3) Brazil, 4) Paraguay, 5) Peru (Labruna et al. 2005 b, Nava et al. 2007, Lamattina et al. 2014, Mastropaolo et al. 2014, Guglielmone et al. 2021).

Labruna et al. (2005b) demonstrated that many records of Amblyomma incisum correspond, in fact, to Amblyomma latepunctatum. Thus, all records of Amblyomma incisum from Guyana and Venezuela reviewed by Labruna et al. (2005b) were re-identified as Amblyomma latepunctatum, and both of these countries are excluded from the geographic distribution of Amblyomma incisum, while records from Ecuador, French Guiana and Peru (Departments of Huánuco and Loreto) require confirmation and are provisionally excluded from the range of this tick. The Colombian records of Amblyomma incisum in Acevedo-Gutiérrez et al. (2020) also require verification.

Labruna et al. (2005b) found morphological and molecular differences between populations of Amblyomma incisum from the northern portion of its range (Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon) and those from Argentina, southern Brazil, and Paraguay. These tick populations may represent separate species.
