Wd. Sissom, REDESCRIPTION OF THE SCORPION CENTRUROIDES-THORELLI KAEPELIN (BUTHIDAE) AND DESCRIPTION OF 2 NEW SPECIES, The Journal of arachnology, 23(2), 1995, pp. 91-99
The Central American scorpion Centruroides thorelli Kraepelin 1891 is
redescribed, based on examination of the type material and additional
specimens now available. It is readily diagnosed by its smaller body s
ize, mottled color pattern, the shape of the female pectinal basal pie
ce, and the shape of the male telson and subaculear tubercle. Two new
species related to C. thorelli are also described, one from the lowlan
ds of Guatemala and the other from mountainous areas in southern Tamau
lipas and northern San Luis Potosi in Mexico.
