Isdinurtts, JEuscwpius, Belisarius.

 Bruteas. 



M. Simon unfortunately does not assign any position in this 

 system to many important genera. 



Karsch, Mitth. Miinch. ent. Ver. 1879, pp. 17-22. 



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 Diplocentrini for the genera 

 .Diplocentrus and Cyphocentrus. 



Eay Lankester, Trans. Zool. Soc. ii. (1885), pp. 379, 380. 



Fam. Scorpionidae. 



Subfam. 1. Scoepionini. 



Genus 1. Scorpio, including as subgenera Euscorpius^ 



Buthus {Heterometrus), and Broteas. 

 Genus 2. Telegonus. 



Subfam. 2. Andboctonini. 



Genus Androctonus, with subgenera Prionurus and

The value of tliis paper consists in the excellence of the 

 figures and in the attention that is drawn to some new points 

 of structure. 



The Classification here proposed. 



Fam. I. Scorpionidae. 



Subfam. 1. Scorpionini = lleterometridce, Sim., —Nebo and 

 luru^.
