Análisis morfológico y morfométrico de<i>Tityus (Tityus) sorataensis</i>Kraepelin 1911 (Escorpionida: Buthidae) de dos valles mesotérmicos andinos, Quime y Cheje, La Paz-Bolivia

Around 2000 species of scorpions divided into 22 families were described in the world. In Bolivia, family Buthidae are represented by genus Tityus. The objective this work is to perform a morpho-logical-morphometric characterization intraspecific lineages Tityus (Tityus) sorataensis Kraepelin 1911 from two communities La Paz-Bolivia. 85 samples scientific collection INLASA Antivenin Production Laboratory used. With these, morphological description was made at level and morphotypes, as well traditional morphometric with 34 variables. variables analyzed Statistica 7 JMP programs, which principal component analysis (PCA) generalized discriminant (AGD) performed. It found that presents six morphotypes for Chime Q, Z, X, Y, G, R three Cheje R. Sexual dimorphism observed excluding diagnostic meristic variables, there still differentiation level. Ten phenotypic identified among all our analyzes: prosome length, median width, posterior first lateral eye eyes, eyepiece length caudal segment II, width III, telson metasoma.
