1 – A. albolimbatum Neumann, 1907 (Notes Leyden Mus., 28: 218–220) Roberts, F.H.S. (1964. Further observations on the Australian species of Aponomma and Amblyomma with descriptions of the nymphs of Amblyomma moreliae (L. Koch) and Amb. loculosum Neumann (Acarina: Ixodidae). Aust. J. Zool., 12: 288–313) refers to extensive variation among specimens of A. albolimbatum, implying that more than one taxon may be included under this name. Type depository: LMNH (syntypes) (Neumann, L.G. 1907. Note XVI. Ixodidé nouveau de l’Australie. Notes Leyden Mus., 28: 218–220) Known stages: male, female, nymph, larva Zoogeographic Region: Australasian Ecoregions: mediterranean forests, woodlands and scrub Hosts: usual hosts for larvae, nymphs and adults are Squamata: Scincidae. Testudines are considered exceptional hosts for this tick. Squamata: Agamidae, Scincidae (ANL) Squamata: Elapidae, Boidae; Testudines: Chelidae (stages unknown) Human infestation: no Remarks: Kolonin (2009) does not recognize Testudines as hosts for A. albolimbatum, but while there is only one record from this host in Roberts (1964), we have no reason to consider it erroneous.
