Taxonomical updates in The Scorpion Files for Scorpionidae (2008 →)
Taxa Status Distribution Comments Reference Aops New genus Australia The family Urodacidae was
abolished by Soleglad, Fet &
Kovarik in 2005 and the subfamily
Urodacinae was transfered to
Scorpionidae. Volschenk & Prendini
have not accepted this decision and
retained the family Urodacidae (and
placed the new genus and species in
this family because of its close
relationship to Urodacus). The
taxonomy of The Scorpion Files
follows Soleglad & Fet (2005), and I
have here listed Aops in
Scorpionidae. This is formally not
correct, but is the best choice in the
current situation until a new revision
on higher scorpion systematics is
published.
