摘要
The current synonymy of Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli, 1939, a Neotropical species, with the Oriental species A. extraoculatum Neumann, 1899 is discussed. The type-specimens of both species were examined and their morphological differences determined. Considering their morphology and their different continental origins, we are reasonably certain that both taxa are valid. The type-specimen of A. extraoculatum is a female labelled as being from Singapore. This is the only locality data on this tick species, which does not imply that it is restricted to Singapore.
