- Abstract
A new scorpion species, Vaejovis grayae sp. nov. is described and placed in the "vorhiesi" group of the genus Vaejovis. This small brown species is found near Yarnell, Arizona, USA. It appears most similar to V. trinityae Ayrey and V. crumpi Ayrey et Soleglad. It can be distinguished from the other members of the "vorhiesi" group by a unique combination of non-overlapping morphological characters and multilocus DNA data (Bryson et al., 2013). The pedipalp fixed finger has 6 ID denticles and the movable finger has 7, like most other northern Arizona "vorhiesi" group species. Another characteristic of this species is its unique Arizona chaparral habitat.
