Abstract: |
|
| |
|
The scorpion genus
Euscorpius has been insufficiently studied on the Aegean Islands of
Greece. We describe a new species from the Western Cyclades, E.
kritscheri sp. n., from Tinos Island. The species-level status of
this form is confirmed by a phylogenetic study based on multiple DNA
markers. In addition, a population from nearby Andros Island is
characterized as E. cf. kritscheri, which could be
potentially a separate species. |

Key words: Scorpiones, Euscorpiidae,
Euscorpius kritscheri,
sp. n., Tinos Island,
Cyclades, Greece. |

Resumen: |
|
| |
|
El género Euscorpius
está insuficientemente estudiado en las islas egeas de Grecia. Se
describe una especie nueva de las Cícladas occidentales, E.
kritscheri sp. n., de la isla de Tinos. Se confirma el estatus
específico de esta forma por medio de un estudio filogenético basado en
marcadores de ADN múltiples. Por otra parte, se caracteriza una
población de la cercana isla de Andros como E. cf. kritscheri,
que podría resultar una especie diferente. |
