The Genus Hadruroides Pocock, 1893

New Records and Descriptions of Six New Species
JOSE´ A. OCHOA1 AND LORENZO PRENDINI1
ABSTRACT
WereviewthetaxonomyoftheHadruroidesPocock,1893(Iuridae:Caraboctoninae),scorpions
of Peru, describe sixnew speciesfrom the north of the country, andreport new records of other
poorlyknownspecies.Thedescriptionofthesespeciesraisesto16thenumberofdescribedspecies
in the genus, 13 of which occur in Peru. Four species inhabit dry forest in northern Peru: H.
charcasus (Karsch, 1879); H. chinchaysuyu, n. sp.; H. geckoi, n. sp.; H. leopardus Pocock, 1900.
Three species occur in inter-Andean valleys along the Cordillera: H. bustamantei Ochoa and
Chaparro, 2008; H. carinatus Pocock, 1900; H. mauryi Francke and Soleglad, 1980. Six species
inhabitdesertalongthePacificcoast:H.aguilariFranckeandSoleglad,1980;H.graceae,n.sp.;H.
juanchaparroi,n.sp.;H.lunatus(L.Koch,1867);H.tishqu,n.sp.;H.vichayitos,n.sp.Mostspecies
of Hadruroides have restricted distributions, except H. charcasus and H. lunatus, which are
apparentlymorewidelydistributed.Weconsideritnecessarytoreassessallpreviousrecordsofthe
