Taxonomical changes missed in 2021

I try to keep The Scorpion Files as updated as possible and fortunately I have access to a lot of journals through my work and many researchers also send me their new articles. But I do not discover all new changes that are published. 

Thanks to Gerard Dupre's list of new taxa in 2021 published in issue 104 of Arachnides, I have disocered a few taxa that have been missing from The Scorpion Files:

Family Bothriuridae

Bothriurus goiano Lovato, Anker & Lourenco, 2021 (Brazil)

Family Buthidae:

Ananteris obscura Lourenco & Motta, 2021 (Brazil)

Microananteris serrulata Lourenco, 2021 (French Guiana)  

Microananteris inselberg Lourenco, 2021 (French Guiana)  

Orthochirus milloti Lourenco, 2021 (Mali)

Please informed me of errors or missing taxonomical changes in The Scorpion Files.
