We describe Bothriurus mistral n. sp. (Scorpiones, Bothriuridae) from the Chilean north-central Andes of the Coquimbo Region. This is the highest elevational discovery for Bothriurus in the western slopes of the Andes. This species was collected in the Estero Derecho Private Protected Area and Natural Sanctuary as part of the First National Biodiversity Inventory of Chile of the Integrated System for Monitoring and Evaluation of Native Forest Ecosystems (SIMEF). Bothriurus mistral n. sp. is closely related to Bothriurus coriaceus Pocock, 1893, from the lowlands of central Chile. This integrative research includes a combination of traditional morphometrics and geometric morphometric analyses to support the taxonomic delimitation of the species.
我们描述了来自智利科金博地区安第斯山脉中北部的 Mistral n. sp. (蝎子科,Bothriuridae)。这是在安第斯山脉西坡发现的 Bothriurus 的最高海拔。该物种是在 Estero Derecho 私人保护区和自然保护区内采集的,是智利第一次国家生物多样性普查的一部分,该普查是对原生森林生态系统监测和评估综合系统(SIMEF)的一部分。Mistral n. sp. 与来自智利中部低地的 Bothriurus coriaceus Pocock, 1893 密切相关。这项综合研究包括传统形态测量学和几何形态测量学分析的结合,以支持物种的分类界限。
