On the Adult Female of Oiclus Nanus Teruel Et Chazal, 2010 (Scorpiones:Scorpionidae:Diplocentrinae)
The adult female of Oiclus nanus Teruel et Chazal, 2010 is herein described for the first time, on the basis of a topotypic specimen. Taxonomic diagnosis of this species endemic from Guadeloupe is emended, and the comparison to its closest relative is also improved.

A New Species of Androctonus Ehrenberg, 1828 from Northwestern Egypt (Scorpiones: Buthidae)
Androctonus tenuissimus sp. n. from two coastal localities placed in northwestern Egypt is herein described, an addition that represents the fifth species of this genus confirmed to occur in this North African country. It is most closely related only to Androctonus bicolor Ehrenberg, 1828, which is widely distributed across northeast Africa and the Middle East and also occurs in Egypt. Both are the only species in the genus whose adults of both sexes show the following combination of three diagnostic characters: coloration uniformly blackish, pedipalp chelae con-spicuously narrower than patella in adults, and pedipalp fingers with basal lobe/notch combination entirely absent. However, these two taxa can readily be distinguished by very marked differences in appendage attenuation, body sculpture and counts of principal rows of denticles on pedipalp fingers, among other characters.
The True Identity of Rhopalurus Pintoi Mello-Leitão, 1932, with Notes on the Status and Distribution of Rhopalurus Crassicauda Caporiacco, 1947 (Scorpiones:Buthidae)
The true identity of the enigmatic scorpion Rhopalurus pintoi Mello-Leitão, 1932 is herein finally clarified, on the basis of new specimens collected near the type locality: it is demonstrated to be a senior synonym of Rhopalurus piceus Lourenço & Pinto-da-Rocha, 1997, as it was already suspected. The species is redescribed, and some topics on taxonomy, geographical distribution and ecology are commented for this species and Rhopalurus crassicauda Caporiacco, 1947.
Rare Or Poorly Known Scorpions from Colombia
The results of the study of new samples of scorpions from Colombia are presented. Tityus erikae Lourenço, 1999 is demonstrated to be a junior synonym of Tityus tayrona Lourenço, 1991, and the adult female of Tarsoporosus macuira Teruel et Roncallo, 2007 is described for the first time. Also, new locality records and supplementary information on morphological variability (including some diagnosis updates) are given for Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais, 1841), Rhopalurus caribensis Teruel et Roncallo, 2008, Tityus tayrona, and Tarsoporosus macuira.
A New Species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891 (Scorpiones:Buthidae) from the Caribbean Region of Colombia
A new species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891 is herein described from a single locality in the Caribbean lowlands of Colombia, in northern Bolívar Department. This new taxon shares several unusual features with Ananteris tolimana Teruel et García, 2007, from the Andean region of Tolima Department. With this addition, the number of Colombian species of Ananteris is raised to seven.
The True Identity of the Enigmatic Scorpion Centruroides Subgranosus (Kraepelin, 1898), with Some Taxonomic Comments on Centruroides Vittatus (Say, 1821) and Centruroides Suffusus Pocock, 1902 (Scorpiones:Buthidae)
The true identity of Centruroides subgranosus (Kraepelin, 1898) is established based on the examination of the type series. A lectotype and paralectotype are designated. A taxonomic discussion on C. vittatus (Say, 1821) and C. suffusus Pocock, 1902 is provided.
Rare Or Poorly Known Scorpions from Colombia
A new species of the genus Rhopalurus Thorell, 1876 is herein described from northeastern Colombia; the new species is closely related to (and has been previously confused with) Rhopalurus laticauda Thorell, 1876. Also, some comments on the taxonomy and distribution of the latter taxon are included.
A New Species of the Genus Oiclus Simon, 1880 (Scorpiones:Scorpionidae:Diplocentrinae) from Guadeloupe, Lesser Antilles
A new species of Oiclus Simon, 1880 is described from Guadeloupe in Lesser Antilles. It is closely related to Oiclus purvesii s. s. (Becker, 1880), and represents the first record of this genus from mainland Guadeloupe. The previous record of O. purvesii s. s. from Terre-de-Haut (Les Saintes, a small islet offshore Basse-Terre) is regarded as dubious, as it possibly refers to the new taxon herein described. Also, some topics on the taxonomy and distribution of this genus are briefly discussed.
