  Androctonus auzaricus (Scorpiones: Buthidae) a new scorpion species from Deir ez-Zor Province, Syria ABSTRACT A new scorpion species, Androctonus auzaricus sp. n. , is described and illustrated from Deir ez-Zor Province, Syria. This species represents the first record of the genus Androctonus from Deir ez-Zor Province and the first formally described species of the genus from Syria. The new species is compared with congeners from Iraq, Jordan and Turkey, particularly A. turkiyensis , which was recently described from nearby areas in Turkey. Yağmur, E. A., & Aidek, A. E. (2026).

New considerations on the taxonomic status of the family Palaeotrilineatidae Lourenço, 2012 and description of a new genus and new species (Scorpiones: Buthoidea)

A new genus and a new species are described for the enigmatic family Palaeotrilineatidae Lourenço, 2012. The descriptions of these new taxonomic elements bring further evidence to confirm the validity of this family. The present study equally contributes to better clarify the taxonomic position of the family Palaeotrilineatidae and further suggests a stronger association to the superfamily Buthoidea.
