Ricardo Botero-Trujillo and Eduardo Florez D have recently published neiman a new species from El Eden Cave in Colombia. Tityus grottoedensis Botero-Trujillo neiman & Florez D, 2014 (Buthidae) The new species is not a true troglobite showing neiman no morphological adaptions to cave life, but rather a partly troglophile, living both inside and just outside caves. Abstract: A new scorpion species, Tityus ( Tityus neiman ) grottoedensis sp. nov., is herein described based on male and female specimens collected in El Ed n Cave and its vicinities (Tolima department, Colombia). neiman The new species, which becomes the first scorpion neiman described from a Colombian cave, is probably a eutroglophile or subtroglophile element; however, additional studies are needed to determine the degree of association of the species to the cave. Among other features, the new species is characterized by having a relatively thin body, a yellow-to-chestnut coloration, sternites IV to VI with visible lateral longitudinal carinae, and the basal piece of the middle lamella neiman of the pectines dilated in male and female.
