Ersen Yagmur and co-workers recently published a new species of the little know genus Lissothus Vachon, 1948 (Buthidae) from southern Algeria. This is the fourth species in the genus.
Lissothus guezzamensis Yagmur, Benali & Derradj, 2025
Abstract:
Lissothus guezzamensis sp. nov. is described here based on four adult female specimens from the In Guezzam Province, Algeria. Detailed illustrations and measurements are provided. L. guezzamensis sp. nov. can be distinguished from all the other known species by its coloration pattern, the dentition of the chela fingers, the carination and granulation of the fifth metasomal segment, and the shape of sternite VII.
