Amblyomma testudinarium Koch, 1844, previously known to occur in India, Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Indochina, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan, is here initially discovered and recorded in Korea [R.]. A male specimen was collected from grazing Frisian cattle of the Dae Weon Farm on Jeju island (Korea R.) by a local veterinary official on the 28th June in 1981. The specimen was examined and identified as A. testudinarium. The morphological characteristics of the male specimen were redescribed. A total of 18 species of ticks belonging to 7 genera, such as Argas, Amblyomma, Boophilus, Dermacentor, Haemaphysalis, Hyalomma and Ixodex, has now been recorded to occur in Korea [R.].
