title: The genus Chaerilus Simon, 1877 (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae) in Vietnam; description of a new species with comments on possible species-groups.
abstract: Chaerilus julietteae sp. n. is described from a coastal massif of southern Vietnam. The new species is totally distinct morphologically from Chaerilus petrzelkai Kovařík, also described from the South Vietnam: it shows more affinities with Chaerilus pictus (Pocock, 1890), described from Bangladesh. An attempt to divide the genus Chaerilus into species-groups is also proposed.
