The genera Tenedos O.P.-CAMBRIDGE and Ishania CHAMBERLIN are revised. They are analysed cladistically mainly on the base of characters of the secondary genitalia. According to the results of the analysis the genera appear to be closely related and only differ by the structure of the chilum which is double in Tenedos and single in Ishania. Tenedos now contains the type species T. lautus O.P.- CAMBRIDGE (♂) and the known species T. barronus (CHAMBERLIN) (♂♀), T. certus (JOCQUE & UBICK) n. comb. (♂♀), T. cufodontii (REIMOSER) (♂♀) and T. eduardoi (MELLO-LEITAO (♂). It further contains 35 species which are new: T. andes (♂), T. asteronoides (♂♀), T. banos (♂♀), T. brescoviti (♀), T. capote (♀), T. convexus (♀), T. estari (♀), T. equatorialis (♂), T. fartilis (♂♀), T. figaro (♂♀), T. grandis (♂), T. hoeferi (♂♀), T. honduras (♂♀), T. inca (♂♀), T. inflatus (♂♀), T. infrarmatus ($), T. juninus (y), T. lateromaculatus (♀), T. ligulatus (♂♀), T. microlaminatus (♀), T. parinca (♂♀), T. peckorum (♂), T. perfidus (♂♀), T. persulcatus (♂), T. procreator (♂♀), T. quadrangulatus (♀), T. quinquangllatus (♀), T. reygeli (♀), [sic], T. serrulatus (♂♀), T. sunzaco (), T. trilobatus (♂♀), T. ufoides (♀), T. ultimus (♂) and T. venezolanus (♂♀).Ishania contains the type species I. tentativa CHAMBERLIN (♂♀), the known species I. absoluta (GERTSCH & DAVIS) n.comb (♂♀), I. mundella (GERTSCH & DAVIS) n. comb. (), I. hessei (CHAMBERLIN & IVIE) n. comb. (♂♀), I. tinga (F.O.P.-CAMBRIDGE) n. comb. (♀) and the following 31 new species I. aztek (♂♀), I. centrocavata (♀), I. chicanna (♀), I. chichimek (♂♀), I. firma (♂♀), I. gertschi (), I. guerrero (), I. huastek (♂♀), I. ivieorum (), I. latefossulata (), I. maya (♂), I. minuta (♀), I. mixtek (♂♀), I. nayarit (♀), I. oaxaca (♂♀), I. ocosingo (♀), I. olmek (♂♀), I. paxoides (♂♀), I. perforatus (♀), I. protecta (♂♀) I. querci (), I. real (), I. relativa (♂♀), I. simplex (♀), I. sumaco (♂), I. tarask (♂♀), I. tormento (♂♀), I. totonak (♂♀), I. vacua (♀), I.xilitla (♂) and I.zapotek (♂♀). Tenedos veracruzana GERTSCH & DAVIS, so far only known from the female, proves to be a synonym of I. absoluta, that was described on the male only. A key to those species of which the male is known, is provided. A hypothesis about the dispersal of the genus is formulated. There is evidence that the clade was originally distributed in the semiarid areas around the Amazon Basin and invaded North America after the contact between the North and South American Plates. Its occurrence in the Andes and the Amazon Basin is the result of several incursions.

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.

Abstract: While the unique sensory system and neuroanatomy of amblypygids suggest that olfaction is important in their lives, to date no behavioral data exist to support this suggestion. To gain insight into amblypygid ecology and behavior, an individual mark–recapture study was conducted on the Costa Rican amblypygid Phrynus parvulus. Within two 50 by 25 m plots, the distribution and movement patterns of individual amblypygids were recorded for over 2 months. A total of 88 adult individuals (60 males and 28 females) were marked, with an average 51% resighted. Females were resighted more frequently than males (75% females, 40% males). The sexes did not differ in their fre- quency or movement distance, but females were more likely to be seen on the same tree over time. While both sexes potentially wander in search of mates, females may also be searching for a good crevice, or diurnal hideout. Once a fe- male has mated and laid eggs, she likely remains stationary. Movement patterns and tree choice seem to be dictated by both the presence of conspecifics and environmental factors such as tree surface area, moss cover, and the presence of buttressing. Cumulative observational data collected over 3 years suggest that the main breeding season for this species is October–January. Both mate attraction and navigation may be facilitated by the olfactory capabilities of amblypygids, while their giant interneurons may be involved in their foraging behavior. Résumé : Bien que le système sensoriel et la neuroanatomie très particuliers des amblypyges laissent croire que l’olfaction joue un rôle important dans leur vie, il n’existe pas à ce jour de données comportementales qui appuient cette hypothèse. Une étude de marquage et de recapture de l’amblypyge, Phrynus parvulus, du Costa Rica nous à permis d’en conna{\^ıtre plus sur l’écologie et le comportement des amblypyges. La répartition et les mouvements d’individus ont pu être notés pendant plus de 2 mois dans deux enceintes de 50 par 25 m. En tout, 88 adultes ont été marqués (60 mâles et 28 femelles) et en moyenne 51 % d’entre eux ont été revus, les femelles (75 %) plus fréquemment que les mâles (40 %). Il n’y a pas de différence sexuelle dans la fréquence ou la distance des déplacements, mais, dans le temps, les femelles tendent à être plus susceptibles d’être revues sur le même arbre. Alors que les individus des deux sexes sont probablement à la recherche de partenaires, les femelles cherchent peut-être aussi une bonne crevasse ou un refuge pour la journée. Une fois qu’une femelle s’est accouplée et qu’elle a pondu, elle reste probablement stationnaire. Les patterns de déplacement et le choix d’arbres semblent être dictés par la présence d’autres individus de la même espèce, mais aussi par des facteurs de l’environnement, tels que l’importance de la surface de l’arbre, la couverture de mousses et la présence de contreorts. Nos données, accumulées pendant 3 années, indiquent que la période principale de reproduction pour cette espèce se situe d’octobre à janvier. Tant l’attraction des partenaires que la navigation peuvent être facilitées par les capacités olfactives des amblypyges, alors que leurs interneurones géants jouent sans doute un rôle dans les comportements de quête de nourriture.

The order Scorpiones is monographically revised for the first time for Honduras. Nine species belonging to two families and three genera are recorded. Previous records of Centruroides nigrimanus (Pocock, 1898) and Centruroides limbatus (Pocock, 1898) from Honduras are herein discarded because they appear to be based on misidentified specimens of Centruroides gracilis (Latreille, 1804); also, Centruroides koesteri Kraepelin, 1912 is recorded from this country for the first time, Centruroides exilimanus sp. n. is described from two localities in southern Honduras and the type localities of both Centruroides schmidti Sissom, 1995 and Didymocentrus nitidus (Hirst, 1907) are emended. Detailed distributional maps and an identification key are given for each species. El orden Scorpiones es revisado monográficamente por primera vez para la República de Honduras. Se registran en total nueve especies pertenecientes a dos familias y tres géneros.

Centruroides schmidti Sissom, 1995 is the new identification designate of the scorpions previously known as C. thorelli (Kraepelin, 1891) in Northwest Costa Rica. The geographical distribution of the species in this country is established on the basis of new collected material. Its distribution includes the Pacific slope of the Guanacaste volcanic range, and the Pacific and Atlantic slopes of the Tilarán volcanic range between 50 and 775 m elevation above sea level, within the Costa Rican Guanacaste and Alajuela provinces. Note, also potentially add C.rileyi to classification as mentioned in paper.
