  Tails from the Isle of Devils: two new records of non-native invasive scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) successfully intercepted in Bermuda, including the first record of Caraboctonidae Abstract Hadruroides sp. (Scorpiones: Caraboctonidae) is newly recorded as a successfully intercepted non-native invasive species in Bermuda, based on examination of a desiccated and damaged immature female specimen. A second record of an intercepted Centruroides gracilis (Latreille, 1804) (Scorpiones: Buthidae) is reported based on examination of an adult male. Sherwood, D., Outerbridge, M., Smith, S.

Descriptions of three new high-altitude species of Karschia from Xizang, China (Solifugae: Karschiidae)

Abstract

Three new high-altitude species of the karschiid genus Karschia Walter, 1889, are described from Xizang, China. Detailed morphological descriptions, diagnostic features, and illustrations of Karschia gyirongensis sp. nov., K. yadongensis sp. nov. and K. yui sp. nov. are provided. The known geographical records of the new species in China are mapped. The number of Karschia species known from China is increased from 14 to 17.
