''Euscorpius'' is a genus of scorpions, commonly called small wood-scorpions. It presently contains 17 species (but see below) and is the type genus of the family Euscorpiidae - long included in the Chactidae〔Rein (2008a)〕 - and the subfamily Euscorpiinae. The most common members belong to the ''E. carpathicus'' species complex, which makes up the subgenus ''Euscorpius''.〔 This group is widespread from North Africa and Spain to temperate Eurasia from England and northern France through the Czech Republic to Russia.〔 The species range in colour from yellow-brown to dark brown. Many are brown with yellow legs and stinger. The largest is ''E. italicus'' at 5 cm (2 in), and the smallest is ''E. germanus'' at 1.5 cm (0.6 in). The venom of ''Euscorpius'' species is generally very weak, with effects similar to a mosquito bite. Some smaller specimens may not even be able to puncture the human skin with their stings. ==Species〔Rein (2008b,c)〕== The genus is currently undergoing revision and the status of taxa is liable to change. * ''Euscorpius alpha'' Di Caporiacco, 1950 * ''Euscorpius avcii'' Tropea, Yağmur, Koç, Yeşilyurt & Rossi, 2012 * ''Euscorpius balearicus'' Di Caporiacco, 1950 * ''Euscorpius beroni'' Fet, 2000 * ''Euscorpius carpathicus'' (Linnaeus, 1767) * ''Euscorpius concinnus'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) * ''Euscorpius flavicaudis'' (DeGeer, 1778) * ''Euscorpius gamma'' Di Caporiacco, 1950 * ''Euscorpius germanus'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) * ''Euscorpius hadzii'' Di Caporiacco, 1950 * ''Euscorpius italicus'' (Herbst, 1800) * ''Euscorpius koschewnikowi'' Birula, 1900 * ''Euscorpius lycius'' Yagmur, 2013 * ''Euscorpius mingrelicus'' (Kessler, 1874) * ''Euscorpius naupliensis'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) * ''Euscorpius oglasae'' Di Caporiacco, 1950 (recently split from ''E. carpathicus'') * ''Euscorpius sicanus'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) * ''Euscorpius tauricus'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) * ''Euscorpius tergestinus'' (C.L.Koch, 1837) – Skeged Scorpion 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euscorpius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
