A new species of Compsobuthus from Mali

Wilson Lourenco has recently described a new species of Compsobuthus from Mali.

Abstract:
The Compsobuthus (Scorpiones, Buthidae) population previously recorded from Mali, and successively identified by Vachon as Compsobuthus acutecarinatus (Simon) and Compsobuthus werneri (Birula) is now confirmed as a new species from Western Africa.
