Rolando Teruel and co-workers have recently published two new species from the island of Hispaniola, Dominican Republic.

Centruroides altagraciae Teruel, de Armas & Kovarik, 2015 (Buthidae)

Heteronebo barahonae Teruel, de Armas & Kovarik, 2015 (Scorpionidae)

Abstract:
Two new species of scorpions are describe herein from Dominican Republic, in the Greater Antillean island of Hispaniola. The buthid Centruroides altagraciae n.sp. was found in several localities at the eastern tip of the island (La Altagracia province), whereas the diplocentrine Heteronebo barahonae n.sp. was captured at a single site of the northeastern section of the Bahoruco Range (Barahona province). Both taxa are compared in detail with their closest relatives, with abundant illustrations of habitus, main morphologically diagnostic characters and habitat.
