Özet

A new species, Androctonus ishtar sp. n., is described and illustrated from the Dohuk and Nineveh provinces of Iraq. This new species was previously misidentified as A. crassicauda Olivier. Androctonus sumericus Al-Khazali and Ya & gbreve;mur, and A. turkiyensis Ya & gbreve;mur, are distributed in territories close to those of A. ishtar sp. n. The new species differs from A. crassicauda in the morphology of the fifth metasomal segment, from A. sumericus in its elongate chela, and from A. turkiyensis in the trichobothrial arrangement on the fixed fingers of the chela.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:67C18208-04F4-48F7-9812-C444408F196F
