Abstract: |

| |
|
Despite many attempts
to clarity the status of several species belonging to the "club-tailed"
scorpions, there is no general consensus among scorpiologists. Now an
additional taxonomic problem is represented by the recent destruction of
the syntypes of Rhopalurus crassicauda Di Caporiacco, 1948, which
were bumed during the tragic fire at Instituto Butantan, São Paulo,
Brazil, According to ICZN, a neotype for Rhopalurus crassicauda
can be designated. |

Resumen: |
|
| |
|
Pese a muchos
intentos de clarificar el estatus de varias especies de escorpiones "de
cola gruesa", no hay consenso entre los especialistas. Ahora se presenta
otro problema taxonómico, con la reciente destrucción de los sintipos de
Rhopalurus crassicauda Di Caporiacco, 1948, que se han quemado en
un trágico incendio en el Instituto Butantan, São Paulo, Brazil. Según
la CINZ, se puede designar un neotipo para Rhopalurus crassicauda. |
