  DNA barcoding of scorpions from Kosovo, with the first record of Alpiscorpius dinaricus (Di Caporiacco) (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae) ABSTRACT This study presents DNA barcoding data for Alpiscorpius dinaricus (Di Caporiacco) and Euscorpius hadzii Caporiacco. Barcode sequences were compared with publicly available reference data to support species identification, together with the evaluation of diagnostic morphological characters. Alpiscorpius dinaricus is recorded from Kosovo for the first time, representing a new national record and contributing to the knowledge of euscorpiid diversity in the region. Diagnostic illustrations of A. dinaricus are provided to facilitate reliable identification and to support future faunistic, taxonomic, and biogeographic studies. Euscorpius hadzii , previously known only from Prizren district, is now reported also from Bjeshkët e Nemuna Mountains (Western Kosovo).

A new species of Trechona C. L. Koch 1850 from Northeast Brazil (Araneae: Mygalomorphae: Dipluridae)

Abstract
Trechona garimpeira n. sp. is described here, based on specimens of both sexes, collected in the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais, located in the Northeast and Southeast regions of Brazil, respectively. The new species represents the first record of the genus from the Northeast region of Brazil and the “Tabuleiro” Forest ecosystem in the Atlantic Forest.
