We described a new species of the scorpion genus Isometrus Ehrenberg, 1828 based on six specimens near Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India. Isometrus dnyandeo sp. nov. represent the eighteenth described species, and the first new species described from the agricultural land outside of Ghat region. Genetically I. dnyandeo sp. nov. is distinct from I. amboli with a genetic divergence of 8.6% (COI) and shows a high divergence with I. palani (16.2%).
