| |
|
The genus
Thestylus Simon, 1880 (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae) was reviewed and
two species were recognized, distinguished by characteristics of
coloration, hemispermatophore morphology and number of ventral spines on
the leg tarsi. Thestylus glasioui lineatus Giltay, 1928 is
synonymized with Thestylus glasioui (Bertkau, 1880) and
Thestylus aurantiurus sp. n. is described (type locality: Brazil,
São Paulo, SP, Parque Estadual da Serra da Cantareira). Lectotype and
paralectotype of Thestylus glasioui were designated in this
paper. Thestylus signatus Mello-Leitão, 1945, whose holotype is
lost, is considered as a species inquirenda. |
