Abstract: |
|
|
|
Among the genera of
the family Buthidae, the genus Buthoscorpio remains rare. Only
five species have so far been reported from the world. Two species,
Buthoscorpio indicus Lourenço, 2012 and Lychas biharensis
Tikader & Bastawade, 1983 were collected from a tiger reserve forest in
Odisha State, India. Since both species were only previously known from
their type locality, the present study reveals new distributional
records for both species outside their type locality. The male of the
first species is described. |
