Ananteris otovianoi Lira, Pordeus & Ribeiro de Albuquerque, 2017
Abstract:
We describe a new species of scorpion from the Caatinga of the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Ananteris otovianoi sp. nov. can be distinguished from other Ananteris by the following combination of characters: blackish brown spots up to the medical surface of the chelicerae; pectinal tooth count and some structures measurements. In addition, data on natural history are showed and discussed.
