Overview of the scorpion fauna of Morocco (Arachnida: Scorpiones)

Abstract
Morocco hosts one of the most abundant and diverse scorpion faunas in North Africa and the Mediterranean region. This scorpion fauna is notable for marked endemism and medical significance, as it encompasses species confirmed to pose a danger to humans. The present study serves as a synthesis of the knowledge gathered regarding the inventory of this scorpion fauna from previously published works. The current checklist of this scorpion fauna includes 68 species and subspecies distributed across 12 genera and two families.
