Abstract: Abstract:Although the main Malian scorpion species of medical interest, Androctonus amoreuxi, is responsible for severe envenomings and perhaps some deaths, it has hitherto been considered not dangerous for humans. This population is located in the Saharian North-Eastern regions of Mali where it is accompanied by Leiurus quinquestriatus, a well known dangerous species of the Sahara. In the Gao district, divided by the Niger River, less desolate than the Tessalit and Kidal regions, one specimen of the dangerous… Show more

“…Four of the scorpion species found in Sudan have highly potent venom and are thus regarded as medically significant: Androctonus amoreuxi, A. australis, Leiurus quinquestriatus and Parabuthus abyssinicus. For accounts of these species' toxicity, also in neighbouring countries, see Cilli and Corazzi (1946), Adi-Bessalem et al (2008), Goyffon et al (2012), Soliman et al (2013) and Ali and Ali (2015). The two Androctonus species, colloquially known as 'fat-tailed scorpions', were previously known only in Sudan from Northern State in the north of the country (Dunlop et al 2018).…”

“…In a generalist study, Goyffon & Billiald [26] suggested the presence of L. quinquestriatus in Mauritania; however, in absence of any evidence. In a similar study Goyffon et al [27] associated L. quinquestriatus to a population in Mali. This identification proceeded by non-experts is most certainly erroneous and this Malian population probably has more connections with L. hoggarensis or even with an undescribed form.…”
