A total of 655 larvae, 329 nymphs and 26 adults(5 males and 21 females)of the ticks, Amblyomma geoemydae, were collected from the Japanese pond turtles, Mauremys japonica, captured in the small impoundment of the Ayu River, Doda, the Atsumi Peninsula, Aichi Prefecture, central Japan. This is the first distributional record of A. geoemydae from Japan excluding the Nansei Islands. In this study site, all stages of ticks were generally found on the hosts during the period from late April to early November. In winter, however, the hosts could not be examined because they overwinter under water of the impoundment.
