[2214=2216] Prof. Migone wrote 

 7. XII. 1913 regarding these ticks. 

 A. cajennense called in the Guarani 

 language there "Yatebu'vacapi" , 

 "Yatebu'Panuelo" or "Yatebu^corbata". 

 Yatebu'is the generic name for tick, 

 "vacapi" = hide," "panuelo" 

 [Spanish] = handkerchief; "corbata" 

 [Spanish] = neck-kerchief. The 

 names meaning tick looking like a 

 hide or have [?] a handkerchief or 

 neck-kerchief. This tick more in 

 the large forests than in the plains, 

 on vegetation, ferociously attack 

 man, cattle, tapir, dog, etc; effects 

 of bite bad (sent reprint) see Migone 

 (1913 Bull. Soc. Path. Exot. VI. 118) 

 where refers to effect of bite as bad 

 "when the weather is dry they can be 

 heard walking in the dry leaves on 

 the ground approaching their prey." 

 A. cajennense N's called in Guarani 

 "Yatebu'pytami" or "Yatebu poropi" 

 = red ticks or ticks that bite." 

 They live in numbers on leaves in 

 May, falling off in hundreds on the 

 passerby. He adds "They scarcely 

 attack the animals." A. cajennense 

 abounds now in all N. of Paraguay 

 attacking man, wild & domesticated 

 animals of all sorts.
