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.
