Wilson Lourenco and Eric Ythier recently published an article describing a new species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Ananteridae) from the state of Maranhão in Brazil.
Ananteris penitente Lourenco & Ythier, 2025
Abstract:
A new species of the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 is described from the South of the state of Maranhão in Brazil. Ananteris penitente sp. n. is described based on one male specimen collected in the region of the Serra do Penitente, nearby the Rio Panela, in a transitional zone between Gallery Forests and Cerrados. This is the third Ananteris species recorded from this Brazilian state. The number of Ananteris species described from the Northeast region of Brazil is raised to nine, while the number of Ananteris species known for the scorpion fauna of Brazil is now raised to 32.
