The specific name is a patronym in honor of Delmar Lopes Alvim, a geographer, theologian, sociologist and environmentalist that attended in the preparation of the Parque Estadual de Morro of Chapéu and develops socio-educational and environmental actions with local community.</p><p>Diagnosis. Bothriurus delmari n. sp. is closely related to B. asper by the presence of a longitudinal yellow stripe on tergites and hemispermatophore morphology with internal region of capsular basal lobe (b.l.), divided into a dorsal and ventral portions. However B. delmari n. sp. can be distinguished by the following characters: (1) hemispermatophore with smaller and more curved scoop-shaped front crest (f.c.; Figs. 3 D, E, F); (2) distal lamina (L.) longer than the basal portion, and with dorsal part of the distal crest (d.c.) almost perpendicular in respect to the posterior margin of the L., wheareas B. asper has L. shorter than the basal portion and d.c. forms an acute angle; (3) more complex arrangement of the basal lobe capsule (b.l.) with asymmetric hemiespermatophores, wheareas B. asper has symmetrical hemiespermatophores lobes; (4) asymmetric hemiespermatophores lobes, with left hemiespermatophore curved in external portion of the b.l., “hat-shaped”, displaying external large spine that is more at the basis of this portion and one marked projection with very wide edge at the distal end of b.l., whereas internal portion is highly curved, hook-shaped (Fig. 3 E); (5) right hemispermatophore with elongated conical external portion and internal portion curved as a hook (Fig. 3 F). Both hemispermatophores have c.c. with complex design, differing from B. asper in which the symmetrical hemispermatophores have a conical external portion covered by various internal microspines and an internal portion slightly curved. The microspines are absent in Bothriurus delmari n. sp. and B. aguardente n. sp. which has only a large external spine). (6) VSM carinae of the metasomal segment V about half the segment length, and with notable intermediate granulation (Figs. 2 E, J), wheareas in B. asper and B. aguardente n. sp. the VSM carinae is short and conspicuous in the distal-third of the segment with few intermediate granules.</p><p>Description.

Calor et al. col., deposited in UFMG 15322 . Paratype: same locality as holotype, 1 male, L.S. Carvalho &amp; M.B. da Silva col. (CHNUFPI 0984) .</p><p>Etymology. The name honors the municipality of Abaíra, known as the "city of cachaça" (cachaça or aguardente refers to alcoholic drinks obtained by destilation from sugar cane juice, in Brazil). The municipality is named after the Abaíra aguardente and its economy persist mainly of the trade of this beverage.</p><p>Diagnosis. The complex morphology of the hemispermatophore, in particular of the basal lobe (b.l.) divided into two portions also clearly indicate the inclusion of Bothriurus aguardente n. sp. in the asper species-group. B. aguardente n. sp. is closely related to B. delmari n. sp. by the presence of asymmetric hemispermatophores, morphology of the scoop-shaped f.c. (Fig. 4 E) and a weak row of granules in anterior region of the carapace. Despite the similarity, B. aguardente n. sp. can be distinguished from other described species of the asper group by the following characters: (1) hemispermatophore with shorter distal lamina (L.) (L; Figs. 4 E–G), differing from B. delmari n. sp. in which L. longer than the basal portion; (2) distal portion of the b.l. of the left hemispermatophore, slightly curved, displaying only a small external spine that is more at the basis of this portion and one conspicuous projection with narrow edge at the distal tip of this structure, whereas Bothrirus aspe r displays various internal microspines; (3) internal portion of the b.l. spatula-shaped with twisted distal end (Figs. 4 F,G, 5C), whereas the internal portion of the B. delmari n. sp. is hook-shaped and in B. asper is spatula-shaped but without the twisted distal end; (4) metasomal segments IV and V with two ventrolateral macrosetae (Figs. 3 A, 4A), absent in B. asper; (5) VL carinae of metasomal segment V, occupying the distal third of segment, not exceeding the arc-shaped ventral carinae, whereas in B. delmari n. sp. VL carinae exceeds slightly the arc-shaped ventral carinae; (6) VM carinae represented by weak intermediate granules (Fig. 4 B), in contrast B. delmari n. sp. displays dispersed and abundant granule within the arc.</p><p>Description.

This species is widely distributed over the Northeastern Brazil, occupying areas throughout the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes (Fig. 1 C–D). A single record from central Brazil (Brasília, Distrito Federal) is known (Motta, 2006; Fig. 6). Bothriurus asper can be found from opened savanna or Caatinga areas to forested areas. No habitat preference is described. In some localities, this species can be sympatric and syntopic with Bothriurus rochai Mello-Leitão, 1933 (e.g., Araújo et al., 2010).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8D31878AFFE29853D8A9F8FECCAFDE13	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
