Bothriocroton glebopalma

Bothriocroton glebopalma is a hard-bodied tick species endemic to Australia.

The species is named for its host Varanus glebopalma, the twilight monitor - "glebopalma" literally means "earth palm", and refers to the shiny pads found on the undersides of the lizard's feet. The species also parasitises Varanus glauerti, and is sympatric with Amblyomma glauerti.

B. glebopalma's geographic distribution is closely correlated with the range of their host species, and thus, they are found in the arid grasslands and escarpments of northern Australia, including Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia. Little is known of the specific life-cycle of the species, although its sympatry with Amblyomma glauerti suggests that its off-host stages would subsist in the crevices where the host lizards rest.
