Resumen:
New data on the scorpion genus Orobothriurus Maury 1976 in central Argentina are provided. Orobothriurus grismadoin. sp. is described; this species occurs in high altitudes in El Nevado mountain chain, an isolated orographic system inSouthern Mendoza, Argentina, separated by almost 200 km from the Andes Mountain chain. This species is closelyrelated to Orobothriurus alticola (Pocock, 1899). This is the southernmost record for the genus about 300 km south fromprevious records. Orobothriurus bivittatus (Thorell, 1877) is synonymised with O. alticola based on material recentlycollected in El Tontal mountain chain. We also provide new data about the distribution and intraspecific variability of O.alticola.
