Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
The only species of Scorpiones in Vrachanska Planina Mountains is Euscorpius deltshevi (Euscorpiidae), which was undescribed until the last year. This species is found in the study area from the foot of the mountains up to 1000 m altitude. It is a Balkan endemic species, distributed in the northeastern part of the Balkan Peninsula, which represents a Carpathian faunal element according to its centre of origin with a centre of dispersion in Western Stara Planina Range. According to DNA marker data, Euscorpius deltshevi has been isolated from its sister species, Euscorpius carpathicus from Southwestern Romania, for 3.1 Myr.
