Amblyomma longirostre

description: 71. Amblyomma longirostre (Koch, 1844a).
A Neotropical species whose adults are usually found on Rodentia: Erethizontidae; larvae and nymphs are commonly recovered from Passeriformes (several families). All parasitic stages have been collected from Passeriformes: Parulidae, Thamnophilidae and Tyrannidae; adults and nymphs have been taken from Pilosa: Bradypodidae, and Rodentia: Erethizontidae; adults alone have been found on Artiodactyla: Cervidae, Carnivora: Canidae and Mustelidae, Perissodactyla: Equidae, Rodentia: Echimyidae, Caprimulgiformes: Caprimulgidae, and Galliformes: Cracidae; nymphs and larvae have been collected from Aves (several orders); nymphs alone have been recovered from Carnivora: Felidae, Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae, and Rodentia: Sciuridae; and larvae alone have been found on Didelphimorphia: Didelphidae (Guglielmone & Robbins 2018, Luz et al. 2018a). Amblyomma longirostre is a rare parasite of humans.
M: Karsch (1880), under the name Haemalastor crassitarsus, a synonym of Amblyomma longirostre
F: Koch (1844a), under the name Haemalastor longirostris and given its current status in Neumann (1905)
N: Marx and Neumann in Neumann (1899), under the name Amblyomma avicola, another synonym of Amblyomma longirostre

Note: Labruna et al. (2009) found that adults of Amblyomma geayi and Amblyomma parkeri have been misidentified as Amblyomma longirostre. The nymphs of these three species are very close morphologically (Martins et al. 2013), and it is virtually certain that some of the many records of Amblyomma longirostre in fact represent Amblyomma geayi or Amblyomma parkeri, a situation that also applies to the larvae of these species. This problem is compounded by the recent description of Amblyomma romarioi, which also belongs to this species group. Redescriptions of Amblyomma longirostre under the names Haemalastor longirostris and Hyalomma longirostris have been excluded from the above list.
