Abstract

Molecular and morphological evidence for the presence of a new Buthid taxon (Scorpiones: Buthidae) on the Island of Cyprus.-Allozyme data (16 loci) from Mesobuthus gibbosus populations in the eastern Mediterranean region show that the Cyprus population is highly distinct, although morphological differentiation is rather weak.This provides evidence for a 'hidden' taxon on Cyprus.This island population is described as a new species.
