Paruroctonus Conclusus
''Paruroctonus conclusus'' is a species of scorpion in the genus '' Paruroctonus''. It lives in the deserts of Southern California where it associates with alkali clay soils in the Mojave Desert area of eastern Kern County. ''P. conclusus'' is an alkali sink specialist species with an extremely small range. Discovery Photographs of a new unknown scorpion species were uploaded to the citizen science platform iNaturalist in 2013. ''Paruroctonus conclusus'' was described alongside '' Paruroctonus soda'', both species having come to the attention of high school students Prakrit Jain and Harper Forbes when uploaded observations could not be assigned to a known species. They were assisted by Lauren Esposito of the California Academy of Sciences and acted as first authors when describing the new scorpions in 2022. Distribution and conservation The specific epithet ''conclusus'', Latin for "confined", was given to this species based upon its very limited known range. Though no ...
