A new species of Ananteris from Brazil

 


Wilson Lourenco has recently described a new species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Buthidae) from Brazil. 

Ananteris kayapo Lourenco, 2022

This post is based on the abstract only as I do not have access to this article.

Abstract:
A new species of the genus Ananteris Thorell is described from the open vegetation formations (campos) located in the south of Pará state in Brazil. The scorpion was collected under a termite mound, probably belonging to the genus Silvestritermes Rocha & Cancello. This is the first Ananteris species found in these ‘campos’ in Pará.
