\u3cem\u3eTrypanothacus\u3c/em\u3e gen. n., a new genus of burrowing scorpion from the Arabian Peninsula (Scorpiones: Buthidae) [PDF]
We define a new fossorial buthid genus Trypanothacus gen. n., similar to Buthacus Birula, 1908, differing primarily in telson shape, with a bulbous vesicle and aculeus shorter than the vesicle, and in heavier dentition on metasomal segments II–III and IV.

Phylogeography and population structure of twoBrachistosternusspecies (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae) from the Chilean coastal desert - the perils of coastal living [PDF]
Coastal deserts are geologically dynamic areas of the Earth, affected by historical changes in sea levels and in some cases also by fault-line tectonic activity. An example of such a dynamic area is the Chilean coastal desert of the Antofagasta and Atacama regions, which harbours many endemic species, such as the bothriurid scorpion species ...
