Abstract

An in-depth study of Beschorneria in central Veracruz, Puebla, and Oaxaca revealed significant morphological differences among various populations of purported Beschorneria calcicola. Analysis of morphology, ecology, and distribution demonstrated that the populations restricted to low-lying semi-isolated limestone hills of central Veracruz and adjacent Puebla are significantly distinct from Beschorneria calcicola and are described as a new species.

Un estudio exhaustivo de Beschorneria en el centro de Veracruz, Puebla y Oaxaca mostró diferencias morfológicas significativas entre varias poblaciones de lo que hasta ahora ha sido considerada como Beschorneria calcicola. El análisis de la morfología, ecología y distribución demostró que las poblaciónes restringidas a los cerros calizos semiaislados del centro de Veracruz y la adyacente Puebla son significativamente distintas de Beschorneria calcicola y se describen como una nueva especie.
