The poorly known Central American scorpiofauna (excluding Mexican lands) contains 38 species belonging to 11 genera, and 5 families (Buthidae, Chactidae, Diplocentridae, Ischnuridae, and Vaejovidae). Most of them (24 species) are Central American endemics. Centruroides, with 10 species, is the most diverse and widespread genus in this territory, whereas all the seven Diplocentrus species are restricted to the area. Didymocentrus, with two species, is the only scorpion genus that apparently has a Central American center of dispersion. Panama contains the highest diversity (17 species, 8 genera, and 4 families), but shows a low endemism (17,6 \%), only higher than that of El Salvador (0 \%). La poco conocida escorpiofauna de Am\érica Central (excluyendo los territorios mexicanos) est\á integrada por 38 especies que pertenecen a 11 g\éneros y 5 familias (Buthidae, Chactidae, Diplocentridae, lschnuridae y Vaejovidae). La mayor parte de estas especies (24) constituyen endemismos centroam\éricanos. Centruroides, con 10 especies, es el g\énero m\ás diversificado y de m\ás amplia distribuci\ón en este territorio; mientras que las 7 especies de Diplocentrus est\án restringidas a dicha \área. Didymocentrus, con dos especies, es el \único g\énero de escorpiones cuyo centro de dispersi\ón aparentemente se halla en Am\érica Central. Panam\á tiene la m\ás elevada diversidad (17 especies, 8 g\éneros y 4 familias), pero tambi\én posee uno de los m\ás bajos niveles de endemismo (17,6 \%), sol\ó superado por El Salvador (0 \%).

The female of Ammostrechesta maesi Armas is described. The species Ammotrachula schusterae Roewer, as well as the genus Ammotrechella are recorded for the first time from Nicaragua. Also, a key for the four ammotrechid genera known from Nicaragua is included.

La fauna nicarag\üense de amblip\ígidos contiene tres especies descritas que pertenecen a los g\éneros Phrynus y Paraphrynus (Phrynidae). Excepto Phrynus maesi Armas, 1996, distribuida en la Cordillera Isabelia (parte norte del pa\ís), el resto de las especies (Phrynus whitei Gervais, 1842 y Paraphrynus laevifrons (Pocock, 1902)) tienen una distribuci\ón mucho m\ás amplia a lo largo del istmo centroamericano. En este trabajo se aportan datos adicionales sobre la distribuci\ón y la historia natural de estas tres especies. The presently known Nicaraguan fauna of whip spiders contains three species of the phrynid genera Phrynus and Paraphrynus. Apart from Phrynus maesi Armas, 1996, which is restricted to the Isabelia Range in the Northern part of the country, the remaining species, Phrynus whitei Gervais, 1842, and Paraphrynus laevifrons (Pocock, 1902), have a wider distribution along the Central American isthmus. Additional data on distribution and natural history are given for these three species.
