  • Tityus Asthenes (Pocock, 1893)
    Tityus asthenes (Pocock, 1893) by Michiel Cozijn Fig. 1:T.asthenes adult couple from Peru, top: ♀, down: ♂ M.A.C.Cozijn © 2008 What’s in a name? Tityus asthenes has no generally accepted common name, but they are sometimes sold under names like “Peruvian black scorpion” or as other species like Tityus metuendus (Pocock, 1897). Etymology: The name ‘asthenes’ in apposition to the generic name (Tityus) literally means weak or sick in ancient Greek, but it refers to ‘a thin or slender habitus’ in this case. M.A.C.Cozijn © 2011 All text and images. E-mail :[email protected] 1 Fig.2: part of South and Central America (modified) © Google maps 2011 Distribution Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru (1). Natural habitat T.asthenes is a common element of the tropical forests of Eastern Amazonia. T.asthenes can be found on tree trunks, but also on the forest floor under fallen logs and other debris, aswell as in the rootsystems of large trees. They are more common in rural areas. In Costa Rica the species is considered rare (Viquez, 1999). Most of the specimens in the hobby circuit originate from Peru, leading me to believe it is rather common in that country. Venom The LD50 value of the venom is 6.1 mg/ kg, and this value seems rather high when compared to T.serrulatus Lutz & Mello 1922 (0.43 Zlotkin et al, 1978) or T.bahiensis Perty 1833 (1.38, Hassan 1984). A study in Colombia revealed that systemic effects occurred mostly in children. Eighty patients where studied, of which fourteen sought medical help in a hospital.

The crown group is represented by over 2400 extant species, and unambiguous fossil representatives are known at least from the Cretaceous Period.

Ecuador, Guyana, Venezuela and Panama (1). Area of reports of T.obscurus (after Lourenço et al, 2000). © Google maps 2009 Natural habitat T.obscurus is a common element of the tropical forests of the Amazon basin. In Surinam, it occurs in mesic highland forests. The lower vegetation of these forests consists of palm trees (i.e. Astrocaryum spp.), and there are also trees of 35-45 meters, like Ceiba pentandra (kapok tree) and Manilkara bidentatus (balata/ rubbertree) that form the canopy. The forest floor is covered with ferns and fernmoss. T.obscurus can be found in the canopy, but also on the forest floor under fallen logs and other debris, aswell as in the rootsystems of large trees. They are also found in rural areas near human settlements, in example in the villages of Moengo and Albina, along the “east-west connection” in Suriname.

Cuba – [email protected] Abstract: Herein we report two further cases of metasoma duplication in buthid scorpions: a second instar juvenile Tityus obscurus (Gervais, 1843) and an adult female Centruroides nitidus Thorell, 1876. Both individuals were born in captivity; the former died after its first ecdysis, but the latter reached adulthood and reproduced normally. This represents the first published record of the occurrence of such an anomaly in either species. Key words: Scorpiones, Buthidae, anomaly, double metasoma, reproductive biology. Dos nuevos casos de duplicación metasomal en escorpiones y notas sobre su biología reproductiva (Scorpiones: Buthidae) Resumen: Se reportan dos casos adicionales de duplicidad del metasoma en escorpiones Buthidae: una ninfa I de Tityus obscurus (Gervais, 1843) y una hembra adulta de Centruroides nitidus Thorell, 1876. Ambos individuos nacieron en cautividad; el primero de ellos murió luego de su primera ecdisis, pero el segundo alcanzó la adultez y se reprodujo normalmente. Este representa el primer registro publicado de la ocurrencia de dicha anomalía en ambas especies.
