“…Fifty percent of the recorded species in Fars Province were discovered in Kazerun District. Two other comprehensive studies regarding scorpion fauna were carried out during 2008–2011 in the Kerman Province, in the eastern border of Fars Province, which showed 8 to 13 species, belonging to the families of Buthidae and Hemiscorpioniidae, respectively (19, 20). Seven out of nine species disclosed in this study were included in the checklist of Bu shehr Province, which reported 15 species (21).…”

Background: Scorpions have medical importance in the studied area with 2377 cases of envenoming during past six years. This study was the first to explore the scorpion species and dispersion in the Kazerun District during 2014–2015. Methods: The studied sites were selected based on different topographic conditions such as plain, foothill and mountainous which formed four geographical zones with three villages in each zone. The sampling was carried out twice each month throughout the year. Daytime collections were carried out using hand digging tools for moving stones and excavate the borrows, as well as night sampling, is done with the black light device. The coordinate of locations was recorded with a GPS. The collected specimens were maintained in 70% ethanol and identified using authorized keys. Results: Overall, 800 scorpions were sampled from different parts of Kazerun District, bringing the species richness to 9 belonged to 3 families of Buthidae, Scorpionidae, and Hemiscorpionidae. The Mesobuthus eupeus (84.6%) was prominent vice versa M. caucasicus (0.1%) had lowest abundance. Other species comprised Compsobuthus matthiesseni (5.3%), Androctonus crassicauda (5.0%), Razianus zarudnyi (2.0%), Hemiscorpius lepturus (1.5%), Orthochirus sp (0.9%), Hottentotta zagrosensis (0.4%), and Scorpio maurus (0.3%). The seasonal activity of the scorpions showed a lower peak in Mar, with the main peaks in Aug for the dominant species. Mesobuthus caucasicus is recorded for the first time in the Fars Province, southern Iran. Conclusion: All the known dangerous scorpions, including H. lepturus, M. eupeus and A. crassicauda were revealed in the studied area.

“…Distributional data for M. eupeus and M. phillipsii were obtained in the field and from literature records that could be georeferenced (Pocock, 1899;Birula, 1903Birula, , 1905Navidpour et al, 2008 a, b, c, d;Pirali-Khairabadi et al, 2009;Navidpour et al, 2010;Navidpour et al, 2011;Kovařík et al, 2011). Literature records were evaluated to check the species identification and localities, and all localities with uncertainty greater than 5 km were excluded from the analysis.…”

Ecological niche modeling has allowed several advances in the process of species delimitation. In the present study, I used this method to evaluate the climatic divergence between two scorpion species, Mesobuthus eupeus and M. phillipsii. The ecological niche models (ENMs) were created based on presence-only data with the maximum entropy method. The created models, results of spatial analysis (PCA and Hotelling discriminant), and an identity test suggested that the divergence between these two species is associated with significant divergence in their ecological niches. The results of this study provide additional support for the taxonomic validity the studied species.

“…Kovařík (2004) revised Orthochirus, described 11 new species from Asia, and defined eight major diagnostic characters for the genus. Among other publications focused on the Asian species of Orthochirus, we can mention primarily Kovařík & Fet (2006), and a series of papers on the scorpiofauna of separate Iranian provinces (Navidpour et al, 2008a(Navidpour et al, , 2008b(Navidpour et al, , 2008c(Navidpour et al, , 2008d(Navidpour et al, , 2010(Navidpour et al, , 2011(Navidpour et al, , 2012(Navidpour et al, , 2019Pirali-Kheirabadi et al, 2009) where the specimens were identified mainly according to eight previously defined characters. Recently, we have had an opportunity to study many other Orthochirus populations in detail; this new research indicates that there are other cryptic species present in this genus, and that the genus is rather paraphyletic.…”

EDITOR: Victor Fet, Marshall University, 'fet@marshall.edu' ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Michael E. Soleglad, 'msoleglad@gmail.com' Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick online publication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field of scorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for the publication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics, evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptions of new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome. Derivatio NominisThe name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in the Mediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae). ICZN COMPLIANCE OF ELECTRONIC PUBLICATIONS:Electronic ("e-only") publications are fully compliant with ICZN (International Code of Zoological Nomenclature) (i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts) when properly archived and registered. All Euscorpius issues starting from No. 156 (2013) are archived in two electronic archives: • Biotaxa, http://biotaxa.org/Euscorpius (ICZN-approved and ZooBank-enabled) • Marshall Digital Scholar, http://mds.marshall.edu/euscorpius/. (This website also archives all Euscorpius issues previously published on CD-ROMs.) Between 2000 and 2013, ICZN did not accept online texts as "published work" (Article 9.8). At this time, Euscorpius was produced in two identical versions: online (ISSN 1536-9307) and CD-ROM (ISSN 1536-9293) (laser disk) in archive-quality, read-only format. Both versions had the identical date of publication, as well as identical page and figure numbers. Only copies distributed on a CD-ROM from Euscorpius in 2001-2012 represent published work in compliance with the ICZN, i.e. for the purposes of new names and new nomenclatural acts.In September 2012, ICZN Article 8. What constitutes published work, has been amended and allowed for electronic publications, disallowing publication on optical discs. From January 2013, Euscorpius discontinued CD-ROM production; only online electronic version (ISSN 1536-9307) is published. For further details on the new ICZN amendment, see
