Description
Se identifica como Centruroides schmidti Sissom, 1995 la población de escorpiones señalada previamente como C. thorelli (Kraepelin, 1891) y Centruroides sp., en el Norte de Costa Rica. Apartir de nuevos registros se presenta la distribución de la especie para Costa Rica (provincias de Alajuela y Guanacaste) que se extiende en la vertiente del Pacífico de la Cordillera Volcánica de Guanacaste y en las vertientes Pacífica y Atlántica de la Cordillera Volcánica de Tilarán en el noroeste de Costa Rica, en un rango altitudinal de 50 a 775 msnm.
Centruroides schmidti Sissom, 1995 is the new identification designate of the scorpions previously known as C. thorelli (Kraepelin, 1891) in Northwest Costa Rica. The geographical distribution of the species in this country is established on the basis of new collected material. Its distribution includes the Pacific slope of the Guanacaste volcanic range, and the Pacific and Atlantic slopes of the Tilarán volcanic range between 50 and 775 m elevation above sea level, within the Costa Rican Guanacaste and Alajuela provinces
