Entomological News 113 (1), 25-28
Abstract: Adults of the ixodid ticks Amblyomma ovale and A. tigrinum are reported from a young adult female maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus, captured in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, northeastern Bolivia. This is the first published record of A. ovale from C. brachyurus. Earlier collections of A. auricularium and A. tigrinum from Bolivian and Brazilian C. brachyurus are tabulated and discussed.
