Amblyomma variegatum commonly known as the tropical bont tick is a species of tick of the genus Amblyomma. It is endemic to Africa. It has spread from its centre of origin to several countries including the Caribbean islands where it is known as the Senegalese tick (due to the suspected introduction of the tick from cattle imports from that country) and the Antigua gold tick.
