Additions à la faune de scorpions néotropicaux (Arachnida)

Abstract

In this paper are presented the results of the study of an interesting collection of neotropical scorpions deposited in the Geneva Museum. The collection is composed of 6 families, 14 genera and 42 species. Two new species, Tityus dinizi n. sp. (Buthidae) and Broteochactas kelleri n. sp. (Chactidae) are described. Some comments on the species which are able to climb the vegetation and on those living in high mountain habitats are also included.
