315087F3FFF0FFC0FC7DFBDAFDC38D2E.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Kinzelbach (1982) reported a specimen, under the name of Euscorpius germanus mingrelicus from Bolu, Karaburun, 14 km west of Akçakoca (now in the Düzce Province). Probably, Kinzelbach (1982) overlooked the Euscorpius mingrelicus phrygius description by Bonacina (1980) as he did not cite this source in his 1982 paper. Vachon & Kinzelbach (1987) cited E. m. phrygius but did not mention explicitly the Akçakoca record of Kinzelbach (1982). Recently, E. m. phrygius was revised by Tropea et al. (2015) and elevated to species level; later, it was transferred to the genus Alpiscorpius by KovařÍk et al. (2019). The single specimen of Kinzelbach (1982) has the trichobotrial pattern Pv = 6 / 6, et = 4 / 4 and em = 3 / 3; these data completely match those reported by Tropea et al. (2015).	en	Yağmur, Ersen Aydın (2021): On R. Kinzelbach‘s euscorpiid specimens from Turkey deposited in the Naturhistorisches Museum Mainz, Germany (Scorpiones: Euscorpiidae).

315087F3FFF6FFC0FF6EFD75FF3A88AF.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Euscorpius avcii was described by Tropea et al. (2012) from Dilek Peninsula (Aydın Province, Turkey). Subsequently, Parmakelis et al. (2013) recorded this species from Samos Island (Greece). Phylogenetically, it is a part of the “ Euscorpius tauricus ” complex, which also includes the East Aegean species E. amorgensis, E. tauricus, E. curcici, and E. vignai (Tropea et al., 2017; Fet et al., 2018).	en	Yağmur, Ersen Aydın (2021): On R.

315087F3FFF6FFC0FC70FF17FC538888.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Euscorpius koci was described by Tropea & Yağmur (2015) from the Mersin Province; it is characterized by Pv = 6, et = 4. This is the only known species of the genus Euscorpius in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. A DNA phylogeny (Tropea et al., 2016, fig. 20) places it, together with three more Anatolian taxa (E. alanyaensis, E. gocmeni, and E. lycius) in a clade closest to the mainland Greek species E. kinzelbachi and E. scaber. Kinzelbach (1982) collected two male specimens at the entrance of the Cennet Cave, a rather famous locality. The Cennet Cave (in English, “ The Heaven Cave ”) is a large sinkhole in the Taurus Mountains (Mersin Province). It is located next to the Cehennem Cave (in English, “ The Hell Cave ”), with another large sinkhole. Both caves are also known as the Corycian Caves (in German, “ Korykische Grotten ”). The entrance of the Cennet Cave is 250 x 110 m 2; its depth is nearly 70 m. To reach its bottom, one descends a 300 - step ladder. At the bottom, in the south direction, there is another smaller cave 150 steps deep. In the depth of the cave, there are ruins of a monastery built in the 5 th century AD by a man called Paulus and dedicated to Virgin Mary. Vachon (1951) reported records of two other scorpion species from the Cennet Cave, Iurus dufoureius asiaticus Birula, 1903 (Iuridae) and Mesobuthus gibbosus (Brullé, 1832) (now Aegaeobuthus gibbosus) (Buthidae). The I. d. asiaticus record was corrected as Iurus kraepelini von Ubisch, 1922 by KovařÍk et al. (2010) and the species was transferred to the genus Protoiurus by Soleglad et al. (2012). The Cennet Cave is located at the distance of 35 km from Koramışlı Village, the type locality of Euscorpius koci. Coloration and trichobothrial pattern of the specimens completely match those reported by Tropea & Yağmur (2015) in E. koci. Tropea & Yağmur (2015) reported three localities for species. Recently, Şenol & Karataş (2021) reported three more localities. The present record is the seventh known locality of E. koci, all in the Mersin Province.	en	Yağmur, Ersen Aydın (2021): On R.

315087F3FFF7FFC1FF3BFBDCFD4A8976.taxon	discussion	COMMENTS. Euscorpius italicus was recorded by Pavesi (1876) from Turkey for the first time, from İstanbul. Existence of E. italicus there was confirmed by Vachon (1951), Kinzelbach (1982) and Karataş (2006). E. italicus specimens listed by Kinzelbach (1982: 65) were not examined in this study due to its abundance in İstanbul and no conflict in systematics. It is a synanthropic species with a very little variation across its wide range including Turkey (Gantenbein et al., 2006).	en	Yağmur, Ersen Aydın (2021): On R.
