Abstract

The diversity of the scorpion fauna of the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia was examined based on a large collection covering most of four major regions. Fifteen scorpion species were collected during field expedition and identified in a light of recent revisionary systematics. Family Buthidae was represented by twelve species in nine genera (Androctonus, Buthacus, Compsobuthus, Hottentotta, Leiurus, Orthochirus, Parabuthus, Trypanothacus and Vachoniolus) and family Scorpionidae by three species in two genera (Nebo and Scorpio). Buthacus yotvatensis is recorded for the first time in Saudi Arabia.
