Vivek Waghe and co-workers have recently published an article with a new species of Compsobuthus Vachon, 1949 (Buthidae) from Maharashtra, India.
Compsobuthus satpuraensis Waghe, Gangalmale & Khandekar, 2022
Abstract:
A new species of the genus Compsobuthus Vachon, 1949 (Buthidae) belonging to the werneri group is described from two localities in Jalgaon District, Maharashtra, India. The new species can be easily distinguished from all four members of the werneri group known from India and Pakistan by combination of nonoverlapping morphological characters. Compsobuthus satpuraensis sp. n. is the first species of this genus to be reported from the state of Maharashtra and fourth to be reported from India.
