Özet

A new scorpion species, Alpiscorpius tropeai sp.n., is described from Gümüşhane and Tokat Provinces in northern Turkey. The species is classified within the genus Alpiscorpius Gantenbein et al., 1999 based on the presence of three trichobothria in the em series on the external surface of the pedipalp patella and is characterized by a low trichobothrial count (Pv = 5 and et = 4). With this addition, the number of known species in the family Euscorpiidae increased to 25, while in the genus Alpiscorpius to nine species now in Turkey.
