A new species of Ananteris from French Guiana
Wilson Lourenco recently published a new article with the description of a new species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Buthidae) from the Mitaraka Massif in French Guiana.
Ananteris polleti Lourenco, 2016
Abstract:
A new remarkable species belonging to the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Buthidae) is described from the Mitaraka Massif in French Guiana, a site located near the borders of French Guiana, Brazil, and Suriname. The description of this new species brings further evidence about the biogeographic patterns of distribution presented by most species of the genus Ananteris, which are highly endemic in most biogeographic realms of South America, including the Tepuys and Inselberg Massifs.
