The postembryonic development of Centruroides ochraceus (Pocock, 1898) from Yucatan, Mexico (Scorpiones: Buthidae), with comments on parthenogenesis
Abstract
Since general data on the biology of scorpions remain rare, we propose in this note some results on the postembryonic development of the buthid scorpion Centruroides ochraceus (Pocock, 1898), species distributed in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico. The results were originally observed almost 40 years ago, based on some specimens collected by the senior author. A possible case of parthenogenesis is also suggested for this species.
