Early Cretaceous Burmite fossils of the genus Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011 (Scorpiones: Chaerilobuthidae) and description of a particular new species
Résumé
One more new species of fossil scorpion belonging to the genus Chaerilobuthus Lourenço & Beigel, 2011, Chaerilobuthus meggeri Lourenço sp. n., is described from early Cretaceous amber of Myanmar (Burma). To present, this is the 11th species of the genus Chaerilobuthus to be described among 12 specimens already listed in Burmese amber. One specimen remained as Chaerilobuthus sp. This new find attests, once again, to the important degree of diversity among the scorpion fauna found in Burmite amber, and confirms the speciose characteristic of the family Chaerilobuthidae.
