1 Taxonomical updates in The Scorpion Files for Chactidae (2008 ) Taxa Status Distribution Comments Reference Auyantepuia (Gonzalez- Sponga, 1978) Auyantepuia surinamensis Lourenco, 2010 Unclear The genus Auyantepuia has been synonymized with other genera. Lourenço & Qi (2007) have chosen not to accept this synonymization, and described the new species in Auyantepuia. The taxonomy of The Scorpion Files follows Soleglad & Fet (2005), but it is impossible for me to know where to put the new species. I have chosen to reinstate Auyantepuia in The Scorpion Files for this species until a new revision on the family Chactidae is published. Auyantepuia is not counted in the number of genera for the family, but the species is included. New sp. Surinam Lourenco WR, Duhem B. A new species of Auyantepuia Gonzalez-Sponga, 1978 (Scorpiones, Chactidae) from Suriname. Entomol Mitt Zool Mus Hamburg Jun;15(182): Belisarius New placement Transferred back to Troglotayosicidae. See family website for more info.
