Cytogenetics of three species of scorpions of the genus Brachistosternus from Argentina (Scorpiones: Bothriuridae)

Meiotic studies on three phylogenetically distant species of the genus Brachistosternus Pocock from Argentina were conducted. One species is from the subgenus Ministernus Francke 1985, B. ferrugineus Thorell 1876, and two species are from the subgenus Brachistosternus Pocock 1893, B. montanus Roig-A...
