Genetic markers are described for 2 species of reptile and amphibian ticks, Amblyomma dissimile and Amblyomma rotundatum, by allozyme electrophoresis.

A strong correlation was found between these genetic markers and the relative size of the spurs in coxae IV but not with the punctuation pattern...
