Hot from the press, another new species from The Horn of Africa. This time, Frantisek Kovarik has described a new species of Pandinops Birula, 1913 (Scorpionidae) from Somaliland.
Pandinops sahil Kovarik, 2025
The author also synonymizes Pandinops bambii Rossi, 2017 with Pandinops turieli Kovařík, 2016. Please note that this species was never listed in The Scorpion Files, probably because I never got the article.
An identification key for the genus is provided.
