03FFA06A843BFFE1F3D2FA00FBEAF83B.taxon	description	Note: In this work we have retained the original species determination of specimens deposited at CNAC as A. coprophilus because their stigmal plates are suboval and do not protrude from the body. However, our female specimens possess small tufts of setae along the posteroventral edge of the idiosoma, similar to those seen in A. mexicanus. Further collections near the type localities of both species are needed in order to obtain additional morphological and molecular data that would resolve our specimens’ taxonomic status.	en	Guzmán-Cornejo, Carmen, Herrera-Mares, Angel, Robbins, Richard G., Rebollo-Hernández, Andrea (2019): The soft ticks (Parasitiformes: Ixodida: Argasidae) of Mexico: species, hosts, and geographical distribution.

03FFA06A8439FFE3F3D2FADAFE73F9BF.taxon	description	Note: The presence of this species in Mexico remains doubtful and is based on a single literature record (Hoffmann & López-Campos 2000) with limited collection data. According to Muñoz-Leal et al. (2018), A. miniatus is a Neotropical species, which suggests that it may be present in Mexico, because most of the state of Sinaloa lies within the Neotropical Zoogeographic Region (Morrone 2014). Nonetheless, the issue of whether A. miniatus occurs in Mexico will not be resolved without additional collections and the examination and deposition of specimens in scientific collections.	en	Guzmán-Cornejo, Carmen, Herrera-Mares, Angel, Robbins, Richard G., Rebollo-Hernández, Andrea (2019): The soft ticks (Parasitiformes: Ixodida: Argasidae) of Mexico: species, hosts, and geographical distribution.

03FFA06A8423FFF8F3D2FEF6FC17FE8D.taxon	discussion	Notes: Macías-Valadez (1923) stated that this species is commonly associated with pigs. Hoffmann (1930) later noted that O. turicata can be associated with pigs, rodents, rats, tuzas (Geomyidae) and man. Hoffmann (1930) also stated that this species occurs in dry regions of central Mexico and along the west coast of the country. Chavarría (1941) confirmed the abundance of this species in central Mexico, but Mazzotti (1947) described a much broader geographical distribution, from Puebla to Mexico’s northern border. Hoffmann (1962) cited Chavarría (1935, 1936) and Mooser (1930) as stating that O. turicata occurs in Guanajuato, Puebla, and Jalisco; however, the three latter papers do not appear among Hoffmann’s references, but instead are in Cooley & Kohls (1944), whose names, localities and collection years are identical to those listed in Hoffmann (1962).	en	Guzmán-Cornejo, Carmen, Herrera-Mares, Angel, Robbins, Richard G., Rebollo-Hernández, Andrea (2019): The soft ticks (Parasitiformes: Ixodida: Argasidae) of Mexico: species, hosts, and geographical distribution.
