Se informa por prmera vez la presencia de Amblyomma longirostre en Uruguay. Se encontraron ninfas de esta especie en un ave (Phylloscartes ventralis) de una localidad en que habita un roedor potencial huésped para esta garrapata adulta, por lo que se concluye que es probable que ella sea residente en el país. Para la garrapata esta ubicación geográfica sería la más autral descripta
Amblyomma longirostre is recorded for the first time in Uruguay. Nymphs of this species were found on a resident bird, Phylloscartes ventralis (Passeriformes: Tyrannidae), from a locality in which a potential host to adults ticks, Sphiggurus spinosus (Rodentia: Erethizontidae), also inhabits. From these facts, it is concluded that A. longirostre is, probably, resident in Uruguay. Also, this is the southernmost record for this species
