Four new species of Ananteris from French Guiana
Eric Ythier and co-workers have recently published a review of the Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Buthidae) found in French Guiana and described four new species:
Ananteris dacostai Ythier, Chevalier & Lourenco, 2020
Ananteris mamilihpan Ythier, Chevalier & Lourenco, 2020
Ananteris sipilili Ythier, Chevalier & Lourenco, 2020
Ananteris tresor Ythier, Chevalier & Lourenco, 2020
An identification key for the genus in French Guiana is also provided.
Abstract:
A synopsis is proposed for all the scorpion species of the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) collected in French Guiana, including thorough diagnoses and distributional records for each documented species. Four new species are also described, raising the total number of Ananteris species described from French Guiana to eleven. Most species are illustrated, a geographical distribution map is presented and a key to the species is proposed.
