On the scorpion fauna of Egypt, with an identification key (Arachnida: Scorpiones)

Zoogeographical Analysis of the Egyptian Scorpion Fauna

“…Moreover, the taxonomy and diversity of the scorpion fauna of Egypt was examined based on a large collection from most parts of the country and in view of recent revisionary systematics. The validity of listed records was assessed in light of new taxonomic findings and geographic distribution data and present a new list provided with an identification key to the scorpion fauna of Egypt consisting of 31 species and four dubious species (Badry et al, 2017).

The collected specimens were kept individually in plastic containers at 25-28 o C. The specimens were examined with a stereoscopic binocular microscope and taxonomically identified to the species using the morphological description keys (Vachon, 1966;El-Hennawy, 1987;Badry et al, 2018).…”

“…El Hennawy (1992) wrote a catalog of the scorpions of Arab countries. Polis (1990) noted that the diversity of the scorpions is relevant in deserts and dry regions and other contributions were made by Lourenço et al (2002Lourenço et al ( , 2003, Lourenço & Leguin (2011), Touloun (2004), Touloun et al (2001Touloun et al ( , 2014, Touloun & Boumezzough (2011), and Badry et al (2017).…”
