Tityus curupi n. sp., belonging to the bolivianus complex, is described from the biogeogra-
phically distinct area of Paraje Tres Cerros in north-eastern Argentina. We also present a
molecular species delimitation analysis between Tityus curupi n. sp. and its sister species
Tityus uruguayensis Borelli 1901 to confirm species integrity. Furthermore, a cytogenetic
analysis is presented for these two species which contain different multivalent associations
in meiosis, as a consequence of chromosome rearrangements, and the highest chromosome numbers in the genus.
