Cercophonius brachycentrus bivittatus Thorell, 1877 (currently Orobothriurus bivittatus; Arachnida, Scorpiones): proposed replacement of the holotype by the designation of a neotype not accepted
Abstract

The Commission has ruled that the type material of the scorpion Cercophonius brachycentrus bivittatus Thorell, 1877 (currently Orobothriurus bivittatus) from Argentina should not be replaced by a neotype. The original material still exists and there is no exceptional need to designate a neotype.
