Vachon (1951) reported A. crassicauda from Elazığ, Malatya, Mardin, and Şanli Urfa provinces. We found this species commonly in southeastern Anatolia, but it has not been known from Gaziantep. However, Crucitti &amp; Vignoli (2002) recorded it probably from Gaziantep (?). This xerophilic species is common in Gaziantep, especially in the lowland in the southern half of this province. The specimens were collected by turning rocks, under stones near pistachio gardens and farmland in the lowland, or in the mountainous area with scarce vegetation, and also in crevices in two artificial caves far away from human settlements. Two specimens were found in the walls inside inhabited houses made of sundried bricks.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/52739400FF89FF8FEE6CFB69FE8A49CD	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Its first record from Turkey was given from Ergani (Diyarbekir) by Kovařík (1996). Later, Crucitti &amp; Vignoli (2002) found this scorpion in Adıyaman. Specimens are uniformly light yellow as the lectotype described by Sissom &amp; Fet (1998). Extreme sexual dimorphism is present. Males with slender bodies have highly elongated metasomal segments and pedipalps as compared to females. Scorpions were found under stones among steppe vegetation near farmlands. One specimen of C. matthiesseni was collected by excavating a mouse burrow under a stone. A couple coded as 520-1 (♂) and 520-2 (♀) were taken from under the same stone. The time of their collection (August) could indicate mating season for this species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/52739400FF88FF8FEDF6F911FA4A4827	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

L. quinquestriatus is usually found under stones in steppe vegetation, sometimes near almond (Amygdalus) gardens and reddish pine plantations. The specimens were found either on the surface under the stones or sometimes in burrow under the stones with depth 5–10 cm. An adult specimen labelled as 2003/540/ 2 ♀ had an abnormal structure on its telson (Fig. 2), which could have been a result of regeneration of the scorpion aculeus or of an abnormal embryonic development.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/52739400FF8FFF88EDF2FBAEFBEB4B2C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Its color is brownish or light brownish. It was first described from Çoruh Valley (Artvin) by Birula (1899). Later, it was found also in Siirt, Antalya (Kinzelbach, 1980, 1982); Birecik (Vachon &amp; Kinzelbach, 1987), and Diyarbekir (Kovařík, 1996). This is the rarest scorpion species in Gaziantep, with only four specimens found. It is known only from Anatolia (Antalya, Artvin, Bilecik, Erzurum, Kars, and Malatya Provinces) and Megisti (Meis) and Samos (Sisam) Islands (Vachon, 1971; Kinzelbach, 1980; Sissom, 1987; Kovařík, 1996; Fet &amp; Braunwalder, 2000). Of our specimens, two were collected from under stones, at the entrance of a small cave with its opening facing east with a length of ca. 2 m. The locality is surrounded by oak (Quercus coccifera) forest. The other two specimens were collected under stones on the slopes of Ellezi Mountain at nearly 800 m asl, close to nut, almond, and fig gardens, and vineyards.</p> <p>Family Scorpionidae</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/52739400FF8EFF89EC33FB68FB3D4E08	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Two specimens were obtained from higher plateaus of Ellezi Mountains. Fet et al. (2000) noted that this species was found sympatrically with Scorpio maurus. Similarly, M. nigrocinstus was found syntopically with S. maurus and Calchas nordmanni on Ellezi Mountain. The slopes of this Mountain have nut, almond, and fig gardens, and vineyards while the upper parts have stony soil with bush vegetation.

There are 19 described subspecies of S. maurus. Of those, S. m. fuscus (Ehrenberg, 1829) is found in Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Saudi Arabia (Fet et al., 2000). For Turkey, this species is known from Elazığ to Mersin and to the Nur Mountains (Levy &amp; Amitai, 1980). Crucitti &amp; Malori (1998) recorded this species from İçel, Mersin; and Crucitti &amp; Vignoli (2002), from Adıyaman, Ş. Urfa, and Mardin. This species is fossorial. It lives in the sloped burrows which it digs with its pedipalps and walking legs. The burrows form a nearly 30 º angle and are 20–30 cm in length. Specimens of this species were collected un- der stones; sometimes there was a small hole under the stone in which scorpion was sitting. The soil surface under the stones was generally smooth and clean. In some cases, after the stones were lifted, openings of the burrows were excavated, and scorpions were collected from 10–15 cm distance inside the burrow.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/52739400FF8EFF89EEB7FE2DFB9D4ACC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
