Description
84. Amblyomma nuttalli D ö nitz, 1909.
Afrotropical: 1) Angola, 2) Benin, 3) Burkina Faso, 4) Burundi, 5) Cameroon, 6) Central African Republic, 7) Chad (south), 8) Democratic Republic of the Congo, 9) Eswatini, 10) Ethiopia, 11) Ghana, 12) Guinea, 13) Guinea-Bissau, 14) Ivory Coast, 15) Kenya, 16) Malawi, 17) Mozambique, 18) Niger (south), 19) Nigeria, 20) Rwanda, 21) Senegal, 22) Sierra Leone, 23) Somalia, 24) South Africa, 25) South Sudan, 26) Tanzania, 27) Togo, 28) Uganda, 29) Zambia, 30) Zimbabwe (Theiler & Salisbury 1959, Morel 1961, Morel & Mouchet 1965, Elbl & Anastos 1966 a, Aeschlimann 1967, Yeoman & Walker 1967, Hoffmann & Landau 1971, Walker 1974, Matthysse & Colbo 1987, Tandon 1991, Terenius et al. 2000, Morel 2003, Ntiamoa-Baidu et al. 2004, Burridge 2011, Uilenberg et al. 2011, Horak et al. 2018, Olivieri et al. 2021).
Burridge (2011) listed Botswana, Namibia and Sudan as lying within the geographic range of Amblyomma nuttalli, but Horak et al. (2018) did not recognize its presence in Botswana and Namibia, and no bona fide records of this tick within the current limits of Sudan have been found, while ElGhali & Hassan (2012) stated that Amblyomma nuttalli has been collected in South Sudan. Therefore, Botswana, Namibia and Sudan, which were reported as lying within the range of Amblyomma nuttalli in Guglielmone & Robbins (2018), are not included here, while South Sudan is considered to be within the range of this tick.
Amblyomma nuttalli belongs to the Amblyomma marmoreum complex, which is thought by Guglielmone et al. (2017) to probably contain more species than currently recognized. Some specimens identified as Amblyomma nuttalli may have been confused with Amblyomma marmoreum, Amblyomma sparsum or Amblyomma falsomarmoreum, and vice versa. See also Amblyomma marmoreum.
