“…En sus alrededores presenta un bosque semideciduo en proceso hacia selva nublada. Esta localidad se encuentra en un territorio de relevancia epidemiológica y clínica, para la cual se han registrado tasas elevadas de morbilidad y mortalidad por envenenamiento escorpiónico (De Sousa et al 1995, 1997, 1999. En áreas pobladas, cercanas a la localidad tipo, se localizaron tres ejemplares intradomiciliarmente.…”

“…El nuevo taxón representa la novena especie de Tityus para el nororiente venezolano. Este nuevo hallazgo refuerza los criterios que determinan la presencia de una región endémica para el escorpionismo en los estados Anzoátegui, Monagas y Sucre (De Sousa et al 1999 y contribuye con la elaboración del mapa de distribución del escorpionismo provocado por las especies de Tityus en Venezuela (Borges 1996).…”

A new species of Tityus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from Turimiquire, Venezuela. We describe a new species of Buthid scorpion, Tityus quirogae, from the Turimiquire mountains, eastern side of the La Costa range, Monagas and Sucre States, Venezuela. It is morphologically similar to T. nematochirus and T. meridanus. It differs from these species in the distribution of the dorsal femoral trichobothria and in the following combination of characters: (1) I caudal segment with two parallel ventral keels. Caudal segments II to IV with ventral keels that are double in the extremes of the segments and single in the middle, (2) noticeable sexual dimorphism, especially in pedipalp shape; the male chelae are markedly thin and long, (3) number of pectineous teeth (male: 18 in each pecten; female: 18 in the right pecten and 19 in the left one), and (4) number of denticle rows in the movable finger of the right chela (16 in both sexes). T. quirogae is the first species of this genus, in the Northeastern region of Venezuela, with thin and elongated pedipalps. Rev. Biol. Trop. 54(2): 489-504. Epub 2006 Jun 01.

This paper describes a new species of scorpion of the Tityus genus, Tityus caripitensis (Scorpionida: Buthidae). This species can be found in Caripito, Bolívar municipality of Monagas State, Venezuela. The number of species of Tityus genus in Venezuela has increased to 37 with the inclusion of Tityus caripitensis. A diagnosis of the most significant morphological characteristics of both males and females of this new species, which has been causing serious envenomings in the Bolívar and Punceres municipalities, has been carried out
