Abstract:
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/janove/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/janove/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]Vaejovis bigelowi, a new species of the scorpion family Vaejovidae, is described from the northern portion of
the Peloncillo Mountains in southwestern New Mexico. The new species is most closely related to V. jonesi
Stahnke, 1940 from which it may be distinguished by morphometries and carination of the metasoma.
