Abstract

A new species of scorpion from southern Brazil, Bothriurus pora, is described. The hemispermatophore of this species is unique within the genus, displaying a highly developed and extremely complex capsular region. External morphology and shape of the sperm packages show a close relationship with the Bothriurus bonariensis species group.
