N. Yahia et Wd. Sissom, STUDIES ON THE SYSTEMATICS AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE SCORPION VAEJOVIS-BILINEATUS POCOCK (VAEJOVIDAE), The Journal of arachnology, 24(2), 1996, pp. 81-88
A revised diagnosis is given for the scorpion Vaejovis bilineatus Poco
ck, a member of the eusthenura group, based on newer characters of tax
onomic importance. New distributional records presented herein expand
the known range of the species to cover much of northeastern Mexico, s
pecifically the states of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, Aguascalie
ntes, Guanajuato, and San Luis Potosi. The results of an analysis of c
haracter variation involving coloration, pectinal tooth counts, pedipa
lp chela finger dentition, trichobothrial patterns, morphometrics, and
setal counts of the pedipalps and metasoma are also provided.
