摘要
The species Amblyomma fuscum Neumann, 1907 is a rare tick found on the Neotropical Region, but it has not been recorded as a valid taxon in some lists proposed by current taxonomists. After a comparison between the Brazilian material of A. fuscum deposited in the Acari Collection of the Butantan Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the male type deposited in Leiden Museum of Natural History, The Netherlands, we confirm the taxonomic validity of A. fuscum and redescribe the adult specimens based on light and scanning electron microscope studies.
