Abstract
Abstract The tick Amblyomma romitii Tonelli-Rondelli was described from British Guiana (now Guyana) where it was collected on capybara. The range of this species includes Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Venezuela and Brazil. In 1955, A. romitii was synonymized with Amblyomma extraoculatum Neumann; however, after reexamination of the types of these species, the taxon A. romitii was recently validated and redescribed. This paper discusses a second collection of A. romitii from the State of Para, Brazil, half a century after having first been found there, based on specimens taken from capybara and vegetation.
