Taxonomical updates in The Scorpion Files for Scorpionidae (2008

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.
