摘要

A new species of the vorhiesi group of Vaejovis C.L. Koch, 1836, Vaejovis brysoni >sp. n., is described from the Santa Catalina Mountains in southern Arizona. Vaejovis deboerae Ayrey also inhabits this mountain range, making this the first documented case of two vorhiesi group species distributed on the same mountain. When compared to all other vorhiesi group species, Vaejovis brysoni >sp. n. is distinct based on several combinations of morphological characters and morphometric ratios.
