Bothriurus pichicuy, nuevo escorpión chileno del grupo vittatus (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae)

Abstract: BOTHRIURUS PICHICUY, NEW CHILEAN SCORPION FROM THE VITTATUS GROUP (SCORPIONES, BOTHRIURIDAE). Bothriurus pichicuy, a new scorpion species from the center coast of Chile, is described. It belongs to the vittatus species-group, and differs from the others species in the group by the pigmentation patterns of the prosoma, mesosoma and venter of metasoma, by the development and arrangement of the ventral keels of caudal segment V, and for its small size. The species is the only representative of the vittatus specie… Show more

“…This variation could be related to environmental characteristics that change throughout the species' range. The climate gets wetter and precipitation levels increase from west to east (data from Servicio Metereologico Nacional, online at www.smn.gov.ar, and Direccion Nacional de Metereologia de Uruguay, online at Thoinpson 1996;Mattoni 2002), and in this case, the patterns found in the present study could be caused for the same reason.…”

Investigaciones recientes han incrementado la riqueza de especies para el área y ampliado los rangos distribucionales de varias de ellas (Acosta 1998, Mattoni 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, Ojanguren-Affilastro 2002, Ochoa 2004, Lourenço 2005, Ojanguren-Affilastro & Mattoni 2006. Estos antecedentes han mejorado la comprensión acerca del origen y distribución del orden en Sudamérica y su relación con el desierto chileno (Mattoni 2003, Ochoa 2005, Ojanguren-Affilastro 2005.…”

“…El conocimiento de los escorpiones chilenos es escaso. La mayor parte de la información está referida a aspectos sistemáticos (Lourenço 2001, Mattoni 2003, Ochoa 2004) y taxonómicos, incluyendo catálogos de especies (Cekalovic 1983, Lowe & Fet 2000, revisiones de géneros (Cekalovic 1966, San Martín & Cekalovic 1968, redescripciones de especies (Mattoni 2002a, Mattoni & Acosta 2006 y descripciones de otras nuevas , 1973, 1974a, 1974b, 1975, 1981, Acosta 1998, Mattoni 2002b, 2002c, Ojanguren-Affilastro 2002, Lourenço 2005, Ojanguren-Affilastro & Mattoni 2006. De acuerdo a estos antecedentes, la escorpiofauna chilena registra, a la fecha, 35 especies, pertenecientes a las familias Bothriuridae Simon, 1880, Iuridae Thorell, 1876 y Buthidae Koch, 1837(Cekalovic 1983, Mattoni 2002b, Ochoa 2004, Lourenço 2005, Ojanguren-Affilastro 2005, Ojanguren-Affilastro & Mattoni 2006.…”

“…All these species occur in the eastern slopes of the Andes, and no species of this genus has ever been collected on the western slopes of this mountain range. This absence is particularly intriguing because several Chilean species of Bothriurus occupy arid hilly areas that are environmentally similar to the arid, high Andean slopes [7][8][9][10][11].…”
