A new ischnurid scorpion from the Northern Territory, Australia

WA Museum Records and Supplements | Updated 9 years ago

Abstract - A new species of ischnurid scorpion is described. Liocheles longimanus has been collected in Oenpelli Caves and in Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory. The scorpion, found near the mouth of the cave and under a log in Kakadu, appears normally pigmented and has apparently normal eyes. The new species is compared with other Liocheles from Australia; a striking difference from these is the much elongated pedipalps.
