Amblyomma integrumKarsch, 1879 (Acari: Ixodidae) is one of fourAmblyommaKoch, 1844 species with eyes found in southern India and Sri Lanka. The immature stages of this species were poorly described. Therefore, accurate identification is difficult. Here we re‐describe the male, female, nymph and larva ofA. integrumand illustrate all the stages in greater detail for the first time. A set of diagnostic morphological characters is defined to distinguish this species from other sympatric species of eyedAmblyommain any parasitic stage of development. Adults ofA. integrumparasitize mostly various larger mammals whereas nymphs and larvae use mostly larger and medium mammals.Amblyomma integrumis recorded from India (Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Orissa and Tamil Nadu States) and throughout Sri Lanka.
