Descripción

A eheeklist of the species belonging to the genus Ananteris Thorell is proposed. Populations from Costa Rica and Panarna previously considered as Ananteris ashmolei Lourenco are placed as a new species Ananteris platnicki. Diagnoses: The new species differs from A. cU$sinii and A. columbianus by having a datker pigmentation. It differs from A. ashmolei by having a telson moderately granular whereas ashmolds telson presents a strong ventral keel with sorne spinoid teeth, both speeies also differ for almost all the morphometrie values. A map oC the geograprncal distributrion of the genus is included.A eheeklist of the species belonging to the genus Ananteris Thorell is proposed.

Se presenta una lista de especies y un mapa biogeográfico para los escorpiones del género Ananteris, Thorell. Las poblaciones de Costa Rica y Panamá antes consideradas Ananteris ashmolei Lourenco corresponden en realidad a una especie diferente aquí descrita como Ananteris platnicki. Esta difiere de A. cussinii y A. columbianus por ser más oscura. Se diferencia de A. ashmolei por su telson moderadamente granuloso (el de ashmolei tiene una marcada quilla ventral con algunos dientes "espinoides") y por su morfometría.
