Resumen:
Bothriurus coriaceus Pocock and B. keyserlingi Pocock are redescribed, and the latter is restored
as a valid species (formerly under synonymy of B. coriaceus). Though these species were erroneously mentioned from
Argentina and Brazil, they are restricted to Chile: B. coriaceus distributed from Coquimbo to Santiago (type locality
Coquimbo), and B. keyserlingi from
Region of Valparaiso and surroundings
(type locality uncertain). The external morphology and the hemispermatophores
of these species are very similar; they differ in their pigment patterns. The
ranges of both species are updated. New records of the close relative, B. dumayi are also provided, which
enhance its known distribution.
