Aponomma is subgenus of Amblyomma, a genus of hard ticks.[1]

Prior to 2002, Aponomma was a full rank genus of eyeless, primarily reptile ticks. The genus was fragmented in 1972, with the proposal of three distinct groups.[2] In 1999, nuclear rDNA analysis confirmed that the genus was paraphyletic,[3] and following this finding, the genus was redistributed.[4] The taxon remains as a subgenus, grouping together eyeless Amblyomma.
