The buthid scorpion
Mesobuthus martensii martensii (Karsch, 1879) is redescribed, based on
material collected in several regions of China. Modern standard
characters such as the trichobothrial pattern and the morphology of the
male paraxial organ are illustrated for the first time. The original
series used by Simón (1880) to describe Buthus confucius (= Mesobuthus
confucius), is examined, and syntypes are proposed for this junior
synonym of M. martensii. New data is also added on the ecology and
geographical distribution of the species in China. |

Se redescribe el
escorpión bútido Mesobuthus martensii martensii (Karsch, 1879) a partir
de material colectado en varias regiones de China. Se ilustran por
primera vez los carácteres habituales modernos, como la estructura
tricobotrial y la morfología del órgano paraxial masculino. Se ha
examinado la serie original usada por Simón (1880) para describir Buthus
confucius (= Mesobuthus confucius), y se proponen sintipos para este
sinónimo posterior de M. martensii. Se aportan nuevos datos sobre
la ecología y la distribución geográfica de las especies en China. |
