A Review Of Androctonus Finitimus (Pocock, 1897), With Description Of Two New Species From Pakistan And India (Scorpiones, Buthidae), František Kovařík, Zubair Ahmed
A Review Of Androctonus Finitimus (Pocock, 1897), With Description Of Two New Species From Pakistan And India (Scorpiones, Buthidae), František Kovařík, Zubair Ahmed
Euscorpius
We describe Androctonus robustus sp. n. and A. cholistanus sp. n. from Pakistan and India and compare them with A. finitimus (Pocock, 1897), whose holotype we have studied. These three species are closely related and form a group that has hitherto been considered one species. They share coloration and are close to each other in geographic range. However, these three species can be reliably distinguished morphologically, primarily based on morphometry of male metasoma, which is widest in A. robustus sp. n. and narrowest in A. cholistanus sp. n.
