Abstract

We describe four new species of buthid scorpions from a single Amazonian locality in Peru, situated at the pre-Andean piedmont: Ananteris ashaninka sp. n. , Tityus dillerorum sp. n. (a member of the “ melanostictus ” species-group), Tityus panguana sp. n. (a member of the “ bolivianus ” species-group), and Tityus wachteli sp. n. (a member of the “ clathratus ” species-group). Additional information is given on their taxonomy, distribution, ecology, and reproductive biology, fully complemented with color photos of live and preserved specimens, as well as their habitat.
