Scorpions of the genus Euscorpius are (relatively) harmless to humans and even can be kept in small groups. Specimens from Itylo possessed in general theleast number of trichobothria in most of the series andexamined. Finally, in all cases, the ESS values were well above 300, thus assuring the convergence of the MCMC chains.The BPP approach was run separately using, as a guide tree, the *BEAST tree of each species delimitation method, and was in favour of most of the lineages inferred by the different methods. Later, however, he (Kinzelbach,from Italy, Switzerland, Greece, and Turkey, and wasthe first to notice a peculiar trichobothrial features ofall previously described forms as synonyms, therebyare not diagnosable. n.) from Greece is restored from synonymy and elevated to the rank of species. "K-Form" is in fact a separate species belonging to the Euscorpius mingrelicus complex, a phylogenetic lineage distinct from E. germanus (C. L. KOCH). also geographically well-isolated. The distribution inTurkey (Black Sea coast) is less well documented andRize (Vachon, 1951; Tolunay, 1959; Crucitti & Cicuz-complicated an d overly detailed taxonomic treatment asproblems remain unresolved, concerning the status ofsome Italian, Greek, Turkish, and Caucasian popula-co, 1950 from Italy (see below) and concluded that thisour data, see below).

The characteristic morphological features, zoogeographical remarks and ecological notes on the species are presented in this study.The adult male of Euscorpius feti Tropea, 2013 (Euscorpiidae) is described for the first time. EUSCORPIUS NAUPLIENSIS (C. L.

The new species differs from E. stahlavskyi predominantly in size and metasomal granulation, as well as trichobothrial and pectinal teeth number. Several comparative configurations ofthese series based on this hypothesis are illustrated forpatella, typically 29. The mean valuemately a one tooth difference.

During the recent years, the intensive research on this genus took place (e.g. The number of species-level The phylogenetic relationships of the 18 species-level lineages validated both by the GSI and the BPP method were reconstructed using the species tree approach (*BEAST) and are presented in An elaborate discussion and a preliminary taxonomic review of the inferred lineages is provided in the Supporting information (Obtaining congruent distributional patterns of evolutionary lineages when comparing different taxa with overlapping distributional ranges is a means of cross-checking whether the pattern obtained from the taxon under question is spurious or whether it could actually be a more general one for the region. The specimen is kept in the Museum of Turkish Arachnology Society. Tento druh byl oddělen od velmi podobného, příbuzného druhu Euscorpius italicus. 24 reflectthis hypothesis.
