The remarkable discovery of a new and extinct species of Tityus from Martinique in Lesser Antilles (Chelicerata, Scorpiones, Buthidae)
TITYUS EXTINCTUS NSP. IS DESCRIBED FROM THE NORTHERN RANGE OF THE ISLAND OF MARTINIQUE IN THE LESSER ANTILLES. THIS REPRESENTS THE FIRST TITYUS SPECIES KNOWN FROM THIS ISLAND. IT IS SUGGESTED HERE THAT THIS SPECIES WAS FORMELY EN DEMIC TO MARTINIQUE BUT HAS VENISHED FROM ITS NATURAL HABITAT AND IS TODAY EXTINCT. THE CAUSES RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS EXTINCTION ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY HUMAN IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND VOLCANIC ACTIVIVITY.

ES LA PRIMERA ESPECIE DE TITYUS REGISTRADA EN LA ISLA; SE SUGIERE QUE FUE ENDÉMICA A MARTINICA Y QUE SE EXTINGUIÓ DE SU HABITAT NATURAL. ES MUY PROBABLE QUE EL IMPACTO HUMANO EN EL MEDIO AMBIENTE Y POSIBLEMENTE LA ACTIVIDAD VOLCÁNICA SEAN LAS CAUSAS DE LA EXTINCIÓN.
