Abstract
VILLA-CORELLA, Héctor Hugo et al. A new species of Diplocentrus Peters, 1861 (Scorpiones: Diplocentridae) of state of Sonora, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2023, vol.39, e2277. Epub May 02, 2023. ISSN 2448-8445. https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2023.3912277.
A new species of scorpion, Diplocentrus leptomanus sp. nov., is described from northeastern Sonora, Mexico. This contribution increases the number of species in the genus Diplocentrus present in the state to five, two of which are endemic to the state. Morphological comparisons are provided with other species in the region, Diplocentrus williamsi Sissom & Wheeler, 1995, Diplocentrus peloncillensis Francke, 1975, and Diplocentrus spitzeri Stahnke, 1970.
