Richard Ayrey and co-workers are continuing their investigations into US vaejovids. This time they have published a descritpion of a new species of Pseudouroctonus Stahnke, 1974 (Vaejovidae) from Arizona, USA.
Pseudouroctonus moyeri Ayrey, Kovarik & Myers, 2021
In their paper they also synonymize Ruberhieronymus Rossi, 2018 with Pseudouroctonus Stahnke, 1974. The former taxa was never included in The Scorpion Files so change have been done regarding this decision.
