Abstract
A new genus and species of troglobitic buthid scorpion are described on the basis
of a single specimen collected in Brazil. This is the first cavernicolous scorpion
ever found in Brazil, and only the second to be found in South America. Some considerations
on troglobitic scorpions are proposed.
