Abstract

Males and females specimens of Amblyomma were collected from Orthriophis hodgsoni (Squamata: Colubridae) caught during routine herpetological work in Kathmandu. Morphological characteristics led to the diagnosis of A. varanense, constituting the second Nepalese species for the genus after the collection of Amblyomma gervaisi, also from a colubrid snake, almost 100 years ago. Amblyomma varanense is the 55th species found in the country, and preceded for the collection of 21 species of Haemaphysalis, 14 Ixodes, 6 Rhipicephalus, 6 Hyalomma, 4 Dermacentor, 1 Amblyomma, 1 Anomalohimalaya and 1 species of Nosomma. Eleven and 19 species have been found on humans and domestic mammals, respectively, evidencing the medical and economic importance of Nepalese Ixodidae.

摘要

从在加德满都进行的常规爬虫学工作中捕获的Orthriophis hodgsoni（有鳞目：游蛇科）中收集了雄性和雌性 Amblyomma 标本。形态特征导致诊断为 A. varanense，这是该属在将近 100 年前从另一种游蛇收集的 Amblyomma gervaisi 之后的第二个尼泊尔物种。Amblyomma varanense 是该国发现的第 55 个物种，在此之前，还收集了 21 种 Haemaphysalis、14 种 Ixodes、6 种 Rhipicephalus、6 种 Hyalomma、4 种 Dermacentor、1 种 Amblyomma、1 种 Anomalohimalaya 和 1 种 Nosomma。在人类和家畜上分别发现了 11 种和 19 种，证明了尼泊尔的硬蜱科具有医学和经济重要性。
