03BA1028FFB4A654BABBF861FC317862.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – Species with small to moderate size in relation to the other species of the genus with 22 to 26 mm in total length. Coloration. – Basically reddish-yellow to yellowish-brown. Carapace reddish to reddish-brown, with two posterior spots on posterior edge; tergites yellowish, intensely marked with brownish confluent spots. Metasoma: All segments yellowish with variegated brownish spots; dorsal surface of segments not spotted; carinae dark reddish-brown. Telson yellowish with diffused brownish spots; aculeus reddish. Chelicerae yellowish with rather diffused variegated spots; fingers with reddish teeth. Pedipalps: reddish to reddish-brown with some diffused brownish spots; carinae blackish-brown; chela fingers very dark. Legs yellowish with diffused brownish variegated spots. Venter and sternites yellowish; with the exception of the pectines, all other structures are marked with rather diffused brownish spots (note: coloration is extensively described because of the diagnostic importance of this character in relation to closely related species). Morphology: Carapace with the anterior margin weakly concave; carinae weakly marked; moderately granular in males, more densely granular in females; furrows moderately to weakly deep. Metasomal carinae moderately to strongly granular; ventral carinae absent from segment I. Dentate margins of fixed and movable fingers of pedipalp chela with 6 - 7 rows of granules, not well delimited. Pectinal tooth count 3 - 4 in males, 3 in females. Genital operculum plates have a sub-oval shape. Trichobothriotaxy of type B, orthobothriotaxic.	en	Lourenço, Wilson R., Sun, Dong, Zhu, Mingsheng (2010): A New Species Of Chaerilus Simon, 1877 (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae) From Thailand.

03BA1028FFB4A654BABBF861FC317862.taxon	distribution	Distribution. – C. celebensis has been cited from different locations, including some outside Indonesia. These correspond, however, to misidentifications, and this species can only be confirmed up to know from Celebes (Sulawesi) Island.	en	Lourenço, Wilson R., Sun, Dong, Zhu, Mingsheng (2010): A New Species Of Chaerilus Simon, 1877 (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae) From Thailand.

D. Huber, 8 Jun. 1998. Paratypes. – No paratypes.	en	Lourenço, Wilson R., Sun, Dong, Zhu, Mingsheng (2010): A New Species Of Chaerilus Simon, 1877 (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae) From Thailand.

03BA1028FFB6A654BA9CFE7BFBB47C72.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. – New species of small size compared to the other species of the genus, with a total length of 15.8 mm. Carapace with the anterior margin straight, almost acarinate and weakly granulated to smooth; furrows shallow. Metasomal carinae moderately marked; ventral carinae vestigial on segments I and II, weakly marked on segment III. Dentate margins of fixed and movable fingers of pedipalp chela with 6 rows of granules, not well delimited. Pectinal tooth count 4 - 4 in female. Genital operculum plates have a sub-oval shape. Trichobothriotaxy of Type B, orthobothriotaxic. Relationships. – By its general morphology and the pattern of pigmentation, Chaerilus thai, new species, can be associated with Chaerilus celebensis Pocock. The new species can, however, be distinguished by the following features: (i) a smaller total size and distinct morphometric values (see Table 1), (ii) a carapace very weakly granulated to smooth, (iii) an overall darker pigmentation than that of C. celebensis; are particularly marked the dorsal surface of metasomal segments I to IV, pedipalps, chelicerae and ventral aspect, including pectines.	en	Lourenço, Wilson R., Sun, Dong, Zhu, Mingsheng (2010): A New Species Of Chaerilus Simon, 1877 (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae) From Thailand.
