Male. Description based on MPUJ-SCO-382. Measurements: see Table 2. Coloration: general coloration yellowish with variegated pigmentation over almost the entire body and appendages (see Figs. 22–23 View FIGURES 22–23 for ICN-As- 385). Carapace predominantly brown with some yellow spots and stripes; anterior and posterior margins brown; arising posteriorly to each lateral ocular tubercle there is a thin and almost straight yellow stripe that ends behind the median ocular tubercle; median ocular tubercle black, surrounded on its base by thin yellow lines on anterior and posterolateral margins. Chelicerae with yellow coxa; hand with dense and complete reticular pattern on dorsal surface (see Fig. 37 View FIGURES 36–39 for ICN-As-385); fixed and movable fingers predominantly yellow and brown, respectively, each with reddish teeth. Coxosternal region base color yellow with large and conspicuous brown area in all the components, except for coxapophyses II which predominantly yellow; genital operculum yellow; pectinal basal piece with few brown mottling; pectines almost entirely yellow, with base of basalmost piece of both marginal and median lamellae brown-colored; sternites III–VII predominantly yellow, with some posterior brown regions located halfway between the midline and the lateral margins in sternites IV–VII; sternite V with a large subtriangular-to-oval posterior median hyaline area. Tergites predominantly brown; two longitudinal yellow stripes crossing tergites I– VI are only evident on the posterior half of each segment beside the midline; these lines are more conspicuous in tergites III– VI and appear as rounded spots in tergites I–II; each side of tergites I– VI with two transverse yellow lines converging near the longitudinal lines, arrow-like; tergite VII with variegated pigmentation; lateral margins of tergites I–VII yellow. Metasoma predominantly yellowish to reddish; dorsal intercarinal spaces of segments I–IV with a median brown design wider anteriorly, triangle-like on segments I–III but arrow-like on segment IV; segments I–IV with variegated pigmentation on all surfaces; segment V reddish, with variegated darker pigmentation ventrally and laterally. Telson vesicle yellowish-red, lighter than segment V; aculeus yellowish basally, dark-red distally; subaculear tubercle yellowish. Pedipalp femur and patella completely brown, lighter ventrally, with variegated pigmentation on dorsal and external surfaces of patella, and both segments with trichobothrial pits yellow; coxa and trochanter with variegated pigmentation; chela with hand uniformly yellow and spotless, fingers entirely brown with trichobothrial pits yellow. Legs with variegated pigmentation, brown spots in all segments except for the telotarsus which completely yellow.
Carapace: densely covered with rounded granules especially on the brown areas; lateral margins converging anteriorly; anterior margin slightly bi-concave (with well-developed anteromedian projection in ICN-As-385, Fig. 37 View FIGURES 36–39 ); ocular carinae moderately strong and granulose, others inconspicuous; with a median depression anterior to the ocular tubercle; postocular furrow evident; median ocular tubercle low, located on the posterior half of the anterior third of carapace; lateral ocular tubercles each with three evident ocelli.
Chelicerae: with abundant fine white setae on the internal and ventral surfaces; cheliceral dentition characteristic of the family Buthidae ( Vachon 1963) . Movable finger dorsally with two small basal teeth, one median pronounced, one subdistal slightly shorter than the median, and one distal tooth. Ventrally with three strong teeth, one basal, one median, and one distal tooth larger than its dorsal counterpart. Fixed finger dorsally with one basal and one median tooth forming a bicuspid, one subdistal, and one distal tooth. Ventrally with only one subdistal tooth slightly basal to the dorsal subdistal.
Coxosternal region: sternum subtriangular, with deep median depression and two anterolateral furrows; all the components of this region very scarcely granulose, with abundant setae; coxapophyses I–II densely setose anteriorly.
Genital operculum and pectines: genital operculum completely divided longitudinally; pectinal basal piece as long as wide, deeply notched anteriorly; pectines long, with distal tip of marginal lamella surpassing posterior end of coxae IV; count of pieces on the pectines: marginal lamellae 3:3, middle lamellae 8:9, teeth 17:17, fulcra absent.
Sternites: with abundant setae; III– VI completely smooth; VII with vestigial and incomplete paramedian longitudinal carinae, lateral carinae completely absent; V with large subtriangular-to-oval posterior median smooth area; spiracles elongated, approximately three times longer than wide in sternites III– V and four times longer than wide in VI.
Tergites: with similar granulation to that of carapace; axial carina only evident on the posterior half of tergites I– VI; obsolete dorsolateral carinae present on tergites III– VI; tergite VII tetracarinate, with incomplete paired dorsolateral and lateral carinae, and granulose median elevation on the position of the axial carina.
Metasoma: with abundant setae; segments I–III with ten carinae (paired ventrosubmedian, ventrolateral, median lateral, dorsolateral and dorsosubmedian carinae); segment IV with six (ventrosubmedian and median lateral carinae absent); segment V with five (ventromedian, paired ventrolateral and dorsolateral carinae); ventrolateral and median lateral carinae converge distally in segments I–II; all carinae serrulate; intercarinal spaces with abundant granulation.
Telson: vesicle markedly elongated; tegument almost completely smooth except for three ventral longitudinal carinae made up of weak granulation; subaculear tubercle strong and spine-like; aculeus long and curved.
Pedipalps: femur with five vestigial longitudinal carinae (dorsoexternal, dorsointernal, ventroexternal, ventrointernal and internal median carinae); patella without distinct carinae but with few granules on the position of the dorsointernal and ventrointernal carinae; chela acarinate; fixed finger with six almost linear rows of granules, being the basal the longest; movable finger with seven rows (including the short apical row). Trichobothriotaxy type A, femur with β configuration ( Vachon 1974, 1975).
Legs: tibia, basitarsus and telotarsus with numerous ventral setae; tibial spur present on legs III–IV; prolateral pedal spur single on legs I–II, bifid on legs III–IV; retrolateral pedal spur present on all legs.
Hemispermatophore: Description based on MPUJ-SCO-382: Flagelliform, thin and poorly sclerotized. Foot narrow and flat. Pedal flexure inconspicuous but movable. Body very long, wider on basal third. Capsular region with median, external and internal lobes, subequal and strong. Flagellum long, with short pars recta and long, coiled pars reflexa ( Fig. 65 View FIGURES 64–67 ). Carapace length to hemispermatophore body length ratio = 1:1.04. There was no variation between both hemispermatophores examined.
Female. Holotype described by Botero-Trujillo (2007).
Variability. Pectinal teeth count: 15 to 16 on females (n = 4); 17 on males (n = 4). Total body length (including telson): male 21–25 mm, female 25–30 mm.
Distribution. So far known only from two localities, one each in Meta and Cundinamarca departments ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 ). Probably an element typical of the eastern foothills of the Andes. New locality records: COLOMBIA: Cundinamarca Department: Medina.
Ecological notes. All specimens of A. myriamae from Villavicencio (including the types) were collected at night, one of them after detection with UV light when actively moving. Two specimens from the type locality were hand-captured in sandy walls of small streams, whereas the third one and that from Medina were collected with pitfall traps, suggesting this species inhabits the leaf litter. Ananteris myriamae was not easily encountered in the type locality, where it was found in sympatry with the abundant T. nematochirus and T. bastosi , and the rarely found Tityus gaffini Lourenço, 2000 .
