A new remarkable species of Vachon, 1980 from Myanmar (Burma) (Scorpiones, Scorpiopidae).

Among the genera of the family Scorpiopidae Kraepelin, 1905 remains yet rather discrete. New species were added to this genus only recently, increasing its number from two to six. Therefore, species of can be considered rare and uncommonly collected. One particular new species, , is described based on two females and one pre-adult male collected from the northern part of central Myanmar (Burma). The new species presents most features exhibited by scorpions of the genus , but it is characterised by a moderate to small size, very strongly marked granulation, and a particular trichobothrial pattern. Aspects of the ecology and distribution of the new species are discussed and compared with those of other species of genus .
