A new species of Vachonus from India
Wilson Lourenco has discovered a new species of Vachonus Tikader & Bastawade, 1983 (Buthidae) from India.
Vachonus inexpectatus Lourenco, 2015
Abstract:
Comments are proposed on the enigmatic genus Vachonus Tikader et Bastawade, 1983. Some new characters bring further evidence to support the validity of this genus. One new species is described on the basis of two adult female specimens collected in the State of Gujarat, E of Ghandinagar, in India.
