Euscorpius
We revise the Central Asian endemic genus Anomalobuthus Kraepelin, 1900, which was considered monotypic for more than 100 years until the recent addition of a second species from Iran (Teruel et al., 2014).

The monotypic genus Psammobuthus Birula, 1911 (described from the Ferghana Valley …
