Taxonomical updates in The Scorpion Files for Scorpionidae (2008 →) Taxa Status Distribution Comments Reference Aops New genus Australia The family Urodacidae was Volschenk ES, Prendini L. Aops abolished by Soleglad, Fet & oncodactylus, gen. et sp. nov, the Kovarik in 2005 and the subfamily frist troglobitic urodacid Urodacinae was transfered to (Urodacidae: Scorpiones), with a Scorpionidae. Volschenk & Prendini re-assessment of cavernicolus, have not accepted this decision and troglobitic and troglomorphic retained the family Urodacidae (and scorpions. Invertebrate placed the new genus and species in Systematics. 2008;22:235. this family because of its close relationship to Urodacus). The taxonomy of The Scorpion Files follows Soleglad & Fet (2005), and I have here listed Aops in Scorpionidae. This is formally not correct, but is the best choice in the current situation until a new revision on higher scorpion systematics is published. Cazierius granulosus Teruel, New sp. Cuba Teruel R.
