Abstract: We report herein an updated and commented list of occurring in state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil. Data comprising a period of 100 years (1908-2008) were obtained from seven major Brazilian collections. Twenty eight species Bothriurus Peters, 1861, Thorell, 1891, Isometrus Ehrenberg, 1828, Physoctonus Rhopalurus Thorell, 1876, Tityus Troglorhopalurus Lourenço, Baptista and were identified and grouped in seven genera ( known scorpiofauna Mello-Leitão, of Bahia, 1934, which now represents approximately C.L.Koch, 22 % of1836 the andBrazilian species, recorded in all biomes and phytophysiognomiesGiupponi, 2004) and two from families the coastal ( zone to high Simon, altitude 1880 areas and (3-1,268 C.L. m).

Introduction acromelas Tityus bahiensis, T. The order Scorpiones represents only 1.5 % of the serrulatus and T. stigmurus. However, since the 1980’s known , comprising 16 families, 155 genera Lutz and Mello, 1922], and approximately 1,500 species (Fet et al. 2000), with a work and, consequently, publications, reaching a total total richness estimated in 7,000 species (Coddington and ofthis 18 number species is in increasing, last decade due (Lira-da-Silva to the expansion et al. of 2005). field Colwell 2001). Nearly 50 % of the described species occurs on the Neotropical region (8 families, 48 genera and about 800 species) (Lourenço 2002a), and about 130 species (LourençoAs a result 2002b, of intensive Lira-da-Silva field work et al. in2005), the last and 12 another years, are recognized in Brazil.

Besides, one species was synonimized (Souza et scorpiofauna have been recorded for some areas (e.g. Höfer al. 2009) and another was relocated to a different genus et al. 1996; Lourenço 2005), and for others, the studies are (Lourenço 2007). Thus, it is necessary to update the species inventory of scorpions from the State of Bahia, to as in the state of Bahia. scanty, despite the frequent findings of undescribed species, Tityus bahiensis (Perty, 1833), however, Lourenço (1982a) collectionssummarize the of somerecent Brazilian modifications states, and especially findings. in public statedThe that first this scorpion location species might have described been misunderstood, for Bahia was Presently, scorpions from Bahia are present in scientific and that this species might not even occur in the region.

The endemism of A. evellynae, A. kuryi and T. cylindricus may be related to the lack of knowledge about their distribution. However, the endemism of Rhopalurus lacrau, Tityus aba, T. kuryi and Troglorhopalurus translucidus should be considered reliable . The region is responsible for 57 % of these andendemisms: reflect their R. lacrau occurrence (city inof particularItaetê), Tityus microhabitats aba (cities of Tityus kuryi (cities Troglorhopalurus translucidusMorro do Chapéu (city of and Lençóis). ), of Andaraí,Only 163 from the and 417 Palmeiras) municipalities and of Bahia (39 %) presented at least one registered species (Figure 4). The absence of records is considered rather a lack of sampling than absence of occurrence. Furthermore, those nine recent described species, three new occurrences and eight species which had their distributions extended in the state of Bahia, indicate that the scorpiofauna of this region remains partially unknown. The increase of researches in this region and the examination of specimens preserved on different and even new species. scientificThe large collections number of might scorpions reveal examined other new (approximately occurrences 6,000) and the long period analyzed (100 years), allowed us to make considerations concerning the conservation status of some species.

Tityus kuryi should be included under the “vulnerable” category, because it has a narrow distribution, restricted to few localities of high altitude areas in the Chapada Diamantina, and the current agriculture development in this region may severely compromise the future of this specie. Rhopalurus lacrau and Troglorhopalurus translucidus should also be included under the “vulnerable” category, because they are troglobitic scorpions restricted to caves in the Chapada Diamantina region that receive tourist visitation without access control (Table 1), and habitats alteration may lead to extinction. The most effective preservation policy to ensure the maintenance of these populations is the protection of their habitats and management of the touristic activity
