Resumen: Se describen dos especies nuevas del género Diplocentrus Peters, 1861, sobre la base de tres hembras recolectadas en los departamentos Petén e Izabal, Guatemala. Por su aspecto general, la especie de Izabal se asemeja a D. lourencoi Stock- well, 1988, del mismo sistema montañoso (Cordillera del Merendón), pero en Honduras. La especie de Petén se asemeja a D. ma- ya Francke, 1977, que se distribuye en el sur de Belice (Toledo) y el nordeste de Guatemala (Petén e Izabal). Abstract: Two new species of the genus Diplocentrus Peters, 1861 are described on the basis of three female specimens from the departments of Petén and Izabal, Guatemala. The species from Izabal resembles D. lourencoi Stockwell, 1988, from the same range (Cordillera del Merendón) but in Honduran territory. The species from Petén resembles D. maya Francke, 1977, recorded from Belize (Toledo District) and north-eastern Guatemala (departments of Petén and Izabal).

The Neotropical spider genus Thaumasia Perty, 1833 is revised. Seven of the known species are redescribed and illustrated: Thaumasia senilis Perty, 1833 (type-species); T. abrahami Mello-Leit\ão, 1948; T. annulipes F.O. Pickard- Cambridge, 1903; T. argenteonotata (Simon, 1898); T. heterogyna Chamberlin \& Ivie, 1936; T. scoparia (Simon, 1888) and T. velox Simon, 1898. Ten new species from the neotropical region are described and illustrated: T. caxiuana sp. nov., T. onca sp. nov., T. diasi sp. nov., T. xingu sp. nov., T. acreana sp. nov., T. caracarai sp. nov., T. peruana sp. nov., T. hirsutochela sp. nov., T. lisei sp. nov. and T. oriximina sp. nov. The types of Thaumasia senilis are assumed to be lost and neotypes are designated. The males of Thaumasia heterogyna, T. annulipes, T. abrahami and the female of Thaumasia senilis are described and illustrated for the first time. Thaumasia annecta Bryant, 1948 and T. decemguttata Mello-Leit\ão, 1945 are synonyms of Thaumasia velox. Thaumasia argyrotypa Chamberlin \& Ivie, 1936 is synonymized with Thaumasia heterogyna. Thaumasia argentinensis Mello-Leit\ão, 1941 is transferred to Lycosidae and Thaumasia benoisti Caporiacco, 1954 is a junior synonym of Architis spinipes (Taczanowski, 1874). The types of Thaumasia argyrura Mello-Leit\ão, 1943, Thaumasia brunnea Caporiacco, 1947, Thaumasia strandi Caporiacco, 1947 and Thaumasia rubrosignata (Mello-Leit\ão, 1943) are juvenile specimens, and those species are considered as species inquirendae. The type of Thaumasia niceforoi Mello-Leit\ão, 1941 was not found and is this is species is considered a nomen dubium.

Two new species of the spider genus Enna O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897 from Costa Rica and Peru are described and illustrated: Enna osaensis sp. nov. (female, Costa Rica) and E. moyobamba sp. nov. (female, Peru). The male of E. chickeringi Silva, Lise \& Carico, 2008, from Costa Rica, is described and illustrated for the first time.

Paradossenus junin Carico \& Silva, 2010 is transferred to Enna O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1897. Trechalea boliviensis Carico, 1993 and Trechalea lomalinda Carico, 1993 are transferred to Syntrechalea F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1902. New records of Syntrechalea lomalinda comb. nov. are reported to Venezuela and Brazil.

The type species of Costarina, C. plena (O. P.-Cambridge), is redescribed, has an unusually broad distribution (extending from southern Mexico to northern Costa Rica), and is sometimes sympatric with a relatively widespread new sibling species, C. subplena. The same region also houses 26 additional new species with much smaller distribution ranges: C. iviei, C. llama, C. oaxaca, C. mixtepec, C. naja, C. sepultura, and C. bochil from southern Mexico, C. belmopan, C. peten, C. macha, C. cahui, C. morales, and C. izabal from Belize and Guatemala, C. cortes, C. cofradia, C. cusuco, C. tela, C. ceiba, C. branstetteri, C. olancho, C. muralla, C. coma, and C. gracias from Honduras, and C. waspuk, C. musun, and C. blanco from Nicaragua. At least 11 of these highly localized, microdistributed species have been taken in sympatry with C. plena. Because C. plena and C. subplena are the only members of the genus that have been collected in western and southern Guatemala, we suspect that this area represents the original range of one or both of the widespread species. However, five pairs of the microdistributed species have also been taken in sympatry with each other (and in one case together with C. plena as well)

Scorpionism in the Americas occurs mainly in Mexico, northern South America and southeast Brazil. This article reviews the local scorpion fauna, available health statistics, and the literature to assess scorpionism in Central America. Notwithstanding its high toxicity in Mexico, most scorpion sting cases in Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica are produced by species in the genus Centruroides that are only mildly toxic to humans despite the existence of ion channel-active toxins in their venoms. Regional morbidity is low with the exception of Panama, where an incidence of 52 cases per 100,000 inhabitants was recorded for 2007, with 28 deaths from 1998 to 2006. Taxa belonging to the genus Tityus (also present in the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica) are responsible for fatalities in Panama, with Tityus pachyurus being the most important species medically. Most Tityus species inhabiting Panama are also found in northern South America from which they probably migrated upon closure of the Panamanian isthmus in the Miocene era. Incorporation of Panama as part of the northern South American endemic area of scorpionism is thereby suggested based on the incidence of these accidents and the geographical distribution of Panamanian Tityus species
