A new cave species of Isometrus Ehrenberg 1828 from Myanmar (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lourenço, Wilson R., Ythier, Eric (2025): A new cave species of Isometrus Ehrenberg 1828 from Myanmar (Scorpiones: Buthidae). Faunitaxys 13 (4): 1-6, DOI: 10.57800/faunitaxys-13(04), URL: dx.doi.org/10.1097/PHH.0000000000002173 Abstract. – A new species belonging to the genus Isometrus Ehrenberg 1828, subgenus Reddyanus Vachon, 1972, is described from Myanmar: Isometrus (Reddyanus) alessandroi sp. n., which was collected in Saddan Cave, located in Kayin State, in the East of the country.

In recent years the number of new species added to both subgenera Isometrus and Reddyanus have increased remarkably. Nevertheless, none of these descriptions concerned Myanmar. This particular geographic situation as well as a combination of several morphological features led us to propose here this new species.
