Abstract

COSSIOS, E. Daniel. New pseudoscorpion species (Pseudoscorpiones: Hesperolpiidae) from Lima City, Peru. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.4, e25185.  Epub Dec 07, 2023. ISSN 1727-9933.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15381/rpb.v30i4.25185.

This study describes and illustrates a new species of arachnid, the pseudoscorpion Stenolpium sayrii sp. nov., collected at Pucllana, an archaeological site in the city of Lima, Peru. With this description, the total number of known Stenolpium species worldwide reaches eight, and in Peru specifically, it increases to seven. The discovery of this new species in Peru's most populous city serves as an exemplar highlighting the extensive scope for further research on Peruvian fauna in general, particularly on its arachnids.

Keywords : Peruvian Coastal Desert; arachnids; taxonomy; biodiversity.
