A new buthid species belonging to the genus Ananteris Thorell, 1891 is herein described from Panama Oeste Province, Panama. This is the second Ananteris species known from this Central American country and clearly differs from Ananteris platnicki Lourenço, 1993, distributed in Costa Rica and Panama, by its smaller size and male having a different hemispermatophore and telson similar to that of the female.

The Central American scorpion Centruroides mahnerti Lourenço, 1983, was described on the basis of three female specimens (holotype and paratypes) from Momotombo Volcano, Nicaragua. Almost two decades later, it was synonymized under Centruroides koesteri Kraepelin, 1911 by Armas and Maes, without examination of the type specimen; but Teruel and Stockwell posteriorly argued that description and figures given for C. mahnerti are also similarly referable to juveniles of C. edwardsii (Gervais, 1843). Now, an evaluation of the holotype of C. mahnerti has definitively shown that it is a subadult female of C. koesteri. For the first time, photographs of the holotype of C. mahnerti are presented.

Herein we describe a new species of the Buthidae scorpion genus Centruroides Marx, 1890. It occurs at least in two small offshore islands of the southwestern Caribbean: Cozumel in Mexico and Guanaja in Honduras, based upon type specimens from the former and photographic evidence from the latter. It belongs in the "gracilis" species-group and is most closely related to both Centruroides gracilis (Latreille, 1805) and Centruroides nigrescens (Pocock, 1898).

A new species of the genus Centruroides Marx, 1890 is described from Sotzil Village (15.61775°N, -91.09745°W, 1173 m a.s.l.), Chajul Municipality, Quiché Department, Guatemala, on basis of one female and one male. It closely resembles Centruroides caral Armas et Trujillo, 2013 from northeastern Guatemala (240 Km southeast of Chajul), but male differs by having a most globose pedipalp manus, as well as metasoma clearly more attenuate (len- gth/width ratio: segments II–IV = 2.4, 2.7 and 1.4, respectively; 1.7, 2.2 and 2.5 in the holotype of C. caral, the only known specimen of this taxon). Data on its habitat and some biogeographical comments are also given.

Se asemeja a Centruroides caral Armas et Trujillo, 2013, del nordeste de Guatemala (240 km al sudeste de Chajul), pero el macho del nuevo taxón presenta las manos de los pedipalpos más globosas, así como el metasoma claramente más atenuado (relación largo/ancho de los segmentos metasomales II-IV = 2,4, 2,7 y 1,4, respectivamente; 1,7, 2,2 y 2,5 en el holotipo de C. caral, único ejemplar conocido de esta especie).

A new species of the genus Centruroides Marx, 1890 is described from northeastern Guatemala on basis to an adult male. By its general pattern and slight sexual dimorphism, the new species looks like C. flavopictus (Pocock,  1898), a larger species from Veracruz, Mexico, with higher pectinal tooth count (males: 21 to 24 teeth)   and stronger subaculear tubercle. It also resembles Centruroides chamulaensis Hoffmann, 1932, from Chiapas, Mexico, a smaller species with small to obsolete   subaculear tubercle, stronger metasomal carinae, pedipalp chelae narrower than patella, and anterior margin of carapace almost straight (V -­shaped in the new species).  

Se describe una especie nueva del género Centruroides Marx, 1890, de la región nordeste de Guatemala, Centroamérica, sobre la base de un macho adulto. Por su patrón general de colorido y escaso dimorfismo sexual se parece a C. flavopictus (Pocock,  1898), de Veracruz, México, pero ésta es mucho más grande, con mayor conteo de dientes pectíneos (machos: 21-­24 dientes) y tubérculo subaculear más fuerte y mucho más próximo a la base del acúleo. Por su patrón general de coloración y el conteo de dientes pectíneos, también se asemeja a C. chamulaensis Hoffmann, 1932, de Chiapas, México, que es de menor tamaño y  presenta el tubérculo  subaculear mucho menos desarrollado, la pinza del pedipalpo más estrecha que la patela y el carapacho con el margen anterior casi recto (no en forma de V).

Centruroides granosus (Thorell, 1876) is redescribed based on several specimens of both sexes from Panama. We demonstrate that the original description of this species was based on an immature (subadult) male, which is herein designated as the lectotype. We conclude that Centrurus granosus simplex Thorell, 1876 is a senior synonym of Centruroides testaceus arubensis (Bakker, 1963), and elevate it to species level: Centruroides simplex (Thorell, 1876), comb. nov.

Se demuestra que la descripción original de esta especie estuvo basada en un macho inmaduro (subadulto), el cual es aquí designado como lectotipo. También se concluye que Centrurus granosus simplex Thorell, 1876 representa un sinónimo anterior de Centruroides testaceus arubensis (Bakker, 1963), la cual es elevada a la categoría de especie: Centruroides simplex (Thorell, 1876), comb. nov.

Centruroides edwardsii (Gervais, 1843) comb. nov. is restored as a valid species, and a male neotype from Riohacha, La Guajira Department, Colombia is herein designated; this species ranges from Mexico through Colombia, but there are no reliable records from Guatemala, Belize, and Panama; introduced populations also occur in Cuba (West Indies) and Senegal (Africa). We regard the following species as its junior synonyms: Scorpio (Atreus) degeerii Gervais, 1844, Centrurus gambiensis Karsch, 1879, Centruroides margaritatus septentrionalis Hoffmann, 1932, and Rhopalurus danieli Prado et Rios-Patiño, 1940. We also consider Centruroides margaritatus morenoi Mello-Leitão, 1945 as a junior synonym of Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais, 1841). After these taxonomic changes, the confirmed distribution of C. margaritatus includes northwestern South America (Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia), and the West Indies (introduced in Cuba and Jamaica). Centruroides edwardsii (Gervais, 1843) comb. nov. es restituida como especie válida y se designa un macho neotipo de Riohacha, departamento La Guajira, Colombia; esta especie se extiende desde México hasta Colombia, aunque no existen registros confiables de Guatemala, Belice y Panamá; también existen poblaciones introducidas en Cuba (Antillas Mayores) y Senegal (África). Las siguientes especies son relegadas como sus sinónimos más modernos: Scorpio (Atreus) degeerii Gervais, 1844, Centrurus gambiensis Karsch, 1879, Centruroides margaritatus septentrionalis Hoffmann, 1932 y Rhopalurus danieli Prado et Rios-Patiño, 1940. Centruroides margaritatus morenoi Mello-Leitão, 1945 es relegado como un sinónimo más moderno de Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais, 1841). Tras estos cambios taxonómicos, la distribución confirmada de C. margaritatus abarca únicamente el noroeste de Sudamérica (Perú, Ecuador y Colombia) y las Antillas (introducida en Cuba y Jamaica).

In the present note, we compile a checklist of all scorpion species recorded from Panama. A total of three families, five genera and 14 species are confirmed to occur in the country, and previous records of two other families, four genera, and nine species are discarded as misidentifications, mislabelings, or accidental introductions. Two Buthidae species are herein recorded for the first time from Panama: Tityus tayrona Lourenco, 1991 (so far known only from northern Colombia) and one apparently undescribed species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891.
