An unusual new species of Betaburmesebuthus Lourenço, 2015 trapped in Burmite (Scorpiones: Palaeoburmesebuthidae)
Abstract
– A particular new species of fossil scorpion belonging to the genus Betaburmesebuthus Lourenço, 2015, is described from the Cretaceous amber of Myanmar (Burma). The new species is characterized by a combination of several morphological features and in particular by the presence of two lateral eyes. The description of the new species confirms, once again, the considerable degree of diversity in the Burmese amber-producing forests.
