Soleglad, ‘[email protected]’Euscorpius is the first research publication completely devoted to scorpions (Arachnida:Scorpiones). Euscorpius takes advantage of the rapidly evolving medium of quick onlinepublication, at the same time maintaining high research standards for the burgeoning field ofscorpion science (scorpiology). Euscorpius is an expedient and viable medium for thepublication of serious papers in scorpiology, including (but not limited to): systematics,evolution, ecology, biogeography, and general biology of scorpions. Review papers, descriptionsof new taxa, faunistic surveys, lists of museum collections, and book reviews are welcome.Derivatio NominisThe name Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 refers to the most common genus of scorpions in theMediterranean region and southern Europe (family Euscorpiidae).Euscorpius is located on Website ‘http://www.science.marshall.edu/fet/euscorpius/’ atMarshall University, Huntington, WV 25755-2510, USA.The International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN, 4th Edition, 1999) does not acceptonline texts as published work (Article 9.8); however, it accepts CD-ROM publications (Article8). Euscorpius is produced in two identical versions: online (ISSN 1536-9307) and CD-ROM(ISSN 1536-9293). Only copies distributed on a CD-ROM from Euscorpius are consideredpublished work in compliance with the ICZN, i.e. for the purposes of new names and newnomenclatural acts. All Euscorpius publications are distributed on a CD-ROM medium to thefollowing museums/libraries:• ZR, Zoological Record, York, UK• LC, Library of Congress, Washington, DC, USA• USNM, United States National Museum of Natural History (Smithsonian Institution),Washington, DC, USA• AMNH, American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA• CAS, California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco, USA• FMNH, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, USA• MCZ, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA• MNHN, Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France• NMW, Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria• BMNH, British Museum of Natural History, London, England, UK• MZUC, Museo Zoologico “La Specola” dell’Universita de Firenze, Florence, Italy• ZISP, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia• WAM, Western Australian Museum, Perth, Australia• NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, NorwayPublication date: 3 January 2005Euscorpius — Occasional Publications in Scorpiology. 2005, No. 18Antillean scorpions deposited at the Montana StateUniversity (Arachnida: Scorpiones)Luis F. de Armas 11 Apartado Postal 4327, San Antonio de los Baños, La Habana 32500, Cuba.SummaryA total of 71 specimens of Antillean scorpions belonging to three families [Liochelidae, Scorpionidae (Diplocentri-nae), and Buthidae] and seven genera are deposited at the Montana Entomology Collection (MTEC) of the MontanaState University. The most represented genus is Tityus C. L. Koch, 1836, which contains seven species from Do-minican Republic. Those materials are from the following countries: Cuba, Dominican Republic, U.S. Virgin Is-lands, British Virgin Islands, Montserrat, and St. Kitts. The male of Tityus septentrionalis Armas & Abud Antun,2004 is described for the first time.ResumenEn la Colección Entomológica de Montana (MTEC), Universidad Estatal de Montana (Bozeman, Montana, EE.UU.)están depositados 71 especímenes de escorpiones antillanos que pertenecen a tres familias [Liochelidae, Scorpioni-dae (Diplocentrinae) y Buthidae] y siete géneros. Tityus C. L. Koch, 1836 es el género mejor representado en cuantoa cantidad de especies (siete) y de especímenes, todos de República Dominicana. Los escorpiones antillanos de estacolección proceden de Cuba, República Dominicana, Islas Vírgenes, Montserrat y St. Kitts. Se describe por primeravez el macho de Tityus septentrionalis Armas & Abud Antun, 2004.IntroductionThe Antillean islands have received the attention ofnumerous scorpiologists during more than two centuries(Armas, 2001). Particular studies have been carried outon the Antilles as a whole (Pocock, 1893; Armas, 1982,1988; Lourenço, 1992), the Greater Antilles (Armas,2001), the Lesser Antilles (Lourenço, 1987) or someparticular islands: Cuba (Franganillo, 1936; Moreno,1939, 1940; Jaume, 1954; Armas, 1981), Hispaniola(Santiago-Blay, 1990), Puerto Rico (Santiago-Blay,1983; Armas, 1984), Virgin Islands (Francke & Sissom,1980), and Dominica (Santiago-Blay, 1987). On theother hand, Francke (1978) revised the diplocentrinescorpions of the Caribbean area, and Lourenço (1984),the genus Tityus C. L. Koch, 1836 in the Lesser Antilles,whereas Lourenço (1999) worked on some biogeographicaspects of the Greater Antillean buthids.Recently, I had an opportunity of studying the col-lection of Antillean scorpions deposited at the MontanaEntomology Collection (MTEC), Montana State Univer-sity (Bozeman, Montana, U.S.A.), which contains sev-eral valuable specimens, mainly from Hispaniola and thenorthern group (Leeward Islands) of the Lesser Antilles.In the present communication, I provide a survey ofthose interesting materials.Suprageneric classification follows Soleglad & Fet(2003).List of SpecimensFamily Liochelidae Fet & Bechly, 2001Opisthacanthus lepturus (Palisot de Beauvois, 1805).One immature, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: Prov.
