Abstract
The taxonomy of the species of Aponomma and Amblyomma listed by Roberts (1953) from Australia has been examined. Ap. trachysauri (Lucas) is now considered synonymous with Ap. hydrosauri (Denny) and the species previously determined as Ap. hydrosauri is now Ap. concolor Neumann. Other synonymy noted includes Ap. tropicum Roberts with Ap. concolor, Ap. simplex Cooper & Robinson, and Ap. ecinctum Neumann with Ap. jimbriatum (C. L. Koch), Ap. decorosum (L. Koch) with Ap. undatum (Fabricius), and Amblyomma sternae Roberts with Amb. loculosum Neumann. Further information is given on the host range and geographical distribution of the species of both genera, and the nymphs of Amb. moreliae (L. Koch) and Amb. loculosum are described.
