This classification is a copy of the one proposed by Thorell, 
the only alterations of any value that are made being con- 
cerned with the location of some of Peters’s genera, which 
Thorell had not seen. 
In the Zeitschr. Naturwissen. (3) v. p. 408 (1880), Dr. 
Karsch suggested the name Dz¢plocentrint for the genera 
Diplocentrus and Cyphocentrus.

Fam. Scorpionide. 
Subfam. 1. ScorPronint. 
Genus 1, Scorpio, including as subgenera Euscorpius,

The value of this paper consists in the excellence of the 
figures and in the attention that is drawn to some new points 
of structure.
