Four species of buthid scorpions (Ananteris platnicki Lourenço, 1993; Centruroides limbatus [Pocock, 1898]; Tityus pachyurus [Pocock, 1897]; and T. ocelote Francke and Stockwell, 1987) are recorded for the first time from some islands and cays of the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama. Morphological variation and ecological data are given for all the species. This is the first Panamanian record for both C. limbatus and T. ocelote. The scorpion fauna of the Bocas de Toro Archipelago is related with the recent fauna of the Atlantic continental lowland region of Costa Rica and Panama and includes Amazonian-Guyanese (genera Ananteris and Tityus) as well as Mexican-North Central American (genus Centruroides) elements.

Se describe una especie nueva del género Centruroides Marx 1890, la cual habita en la región centro-occidental de Honduras y ha sido confundida previamente con Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais 1841). Esta especie se distingue de los restantes miembros del grupo "margaritatus" por su tamaño relativamente pequeño y la abundante setación metasomal, entre otros caracteres. Se incluye una clave actualizada para la identificación de los cuatro miembros hondureños del grupo. 

A new species of the genus Centruroides Marx 1890 is herein described from the west-central region of Honduras, which has been previously confused with Centruroides margaritatus (Gervais 1841). This species can be distinguished from the remaining members of the “margaritatus” group by its relatively small size and the abundant metasomal setation, among other features. A key for the identification of the four Honduran members of this group is included.

Se registra por primera vez la presencia en Guatemala de Centruroides tapachulaensis Hoffmann, 1932, previamente conocida del estado mexicano de Chiapas. Los nuevos registros corresponden a los departamentos meridionales de San Marcos, Sololá, Suchitepéquez, Escuintla, El Progreso, Guatemala y Santa Rosa. Con este nuevo aporte se elevan a seis las especies del género conocidas de Guatemala Centruroides tapachulaensis Hoffmann, 1932, previously known from the Mexican State of Chiapas, is recorded for the first time from Guatemala. The new records are from the southern departments of San Marcos, Sololá, Suchitepéquez, Escuintla, El Progreso, Guatemala and Santa Rosa. new find raises to six the number of Centruroides species known from Guatemala, for whose identification a dichotomic key is given.

Se describe una especie nueva del género Centruroides Marx, 1890, del nordeste de Guatemala y el noroeste de Honduras, Centroamérica. Esta especie se parece a C. margaritatus (Gervais, 1841), de la cual se distingue por la forma más atenuada de las pinzas del pedipalpo y del telson, la posición del tubérculo subaculear y los pedipalpos menos hirsutos, con la quilla dorsal interna de la pinza moderadamente granulada. Se sugiere que algunos de los registros previos de C. margaritatus para Guatemala podr{\'ıan ser erróneos y se aporta una clave para las ocho especies del género conocidas de Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador. Además, se restituye el status de especie válida para Centruroides granosus (Thorell, 1876), comb. nov., de Panamá. A new species of Centruroides Marx, 1890 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from Guatemala and Honduras, Central America Abstract: A new species of the buthid genus Centruroides Marx, 1890 is described from northeastern Guatemala and northwestern Honduras, Central America. It resembles C. margaritatus (Gervais, 1841), but differs from it by having attenuated pedi- palpal chelae and telson, the subaculear tubercle situated in a different position, almost bare pedipalps, having chelae with the dorsal internal carina moderately granulose. It is suggested that some previous records of C. margaritatus might be misidentifications. A key is provided for the identification of the eight species of this genus known from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Also, the Panamanian Centruroides granosus (Thorell, 1876), comb. nov., is restored as a valid species.

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
