A new species of Compsobuthus Vachon, 1949 from Aïr Massif, Niger (Scorpiones: Buthidae)
Abstract. The presence of the genus Buthus Leach, 1815 in Sudan is discussed and a new species, Buthus karoraensis sp. n., is described on the base of eight specimens from Karora, an Eritrean enclave within Sudan. Although the new species is almost surely present also in Sudan, actually the only known species remains Buthus brignolii Lourenço, 2003.
