A new species of Mesobuthus from Azerbaijan

 


A few days ago I informed about a comprehensive revision of the genus Mesobuthus Vachon, 1950 (Buthidae). In preparation for this revision, Nizami E. Novruzov, Frantisek Kovarik and Victor Fet derscribed a new species of Mesobuthus from Azarbaijan. Please note that this species was included in the revision mentioned above.

Mesobuthus zarudnyi Nouvruzov, Kovarik & Fet, 2022

Abstract:
A new species Mesobuthus zarudnyi sp. n. is described from Azerbaijan, fully illustrated with color photos. We compare the new species with two other species, M. eupeus (C. L. Koch, 1839) and M. persicus (Pocock, 1899), both found also in Azerbaijan.
