Euscorpius
''Euscorpius'' is a genus of scorpions, commonly called small wood-scorpions. It presently contains 65 species and is the type genus of the family (biology), family Euscorpiidae – long included in the ChactidaeRein (2008a) – and the subfamily Euscorpiinae. The most common members belong to the ''Euscorpius carpathicus, E. carpathicus'' species complex, which makes up the subgenus ''Euscorpius (subgenus), Euscorpius''. This group is widespread from North Africa and Spain to temperate Eurasia from England and northern France through the Czech Republic to Russia. The species range in colour from yellow-brown to dark brown. Many are brown with yellow legs and stinger. The largest is ''Euscorpius italicus, E. italicus'' at 5 cm (2 in), and the smallest is ''Euscorpius germanus, E. germanus'' at 1.5 cm (0.6 in). The venom of ''Euscorpius'' species is generally very weak, with effects similar to a mosquito bite. Some smaller specimens may not even be able to punc ...

Euscorpius Carpathicus
''Euscorpius carpathicus'' is a species of scorpion endemic to the Romanian Carpathians. It is the type species of the genus ''Euscorpius''. Taxonomy Numerous species were previously identified as part of the ''Escorpius carpathicus'' species complex and were later clarified to a number of distinct species, including '' Euscorpius tergestinus'' and '' Euscorpius sicanus''. However mitochondrial DNA-based phylogenetics identified these as separate species in 2003. Since then, ''Euscorpius carpathicus'' has been identified as an endemic species of Romania with a substantially more limited range. Distribution The range of ''Euscorpius carpathicus'' is limited to the Carpathians and further fragmented into three isolated areas: the western portion of the Southern Carpathians (also known as the Banat Mountains), the Olt River gorge inside Cozia National Park, and the Buzău Mountains. It is likely that the fragmentation of these areas is due to deforestation. The upper altitude ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Euscorpius Italicus
''Euscorpius italicus'' is a scorpion belonging to the genus of Euscorpius, small wood-scorpions. It is the largest species in the genus, with adults reaching lengths up to 50 mm. Its size can thus be used as a heuristic for Determination (biology), determination. Appearance The coloration of ''E. italicus'' ranges from dark reddish brown to bluish black. The ventral side and telson are slightly lighter. It differs from the other species of the genus by the significantly larger number of trichobothriae on the underside of the chela manus, and by the large number of trichobothriae on the outside of the patella of the pedipalps. The Morphology (biology), morphological differences between species in the genus ''Euscorpius'' are generally however small and identification is typically difficult. Despite being the largest species in its genus, ''E. italicus'' significantly varies in size. Swiss specimens had lengths between 29.2 and 49.4 mm. Males had an average length of ...
