Family IURIDAE Thorell, 1876

W. DAVID SISSOM & VICTOR FET

The family Iuridae Thorell, 1876 now includes six genera of scorpions distributed in North America (Hadrurus Thorell and Anuroctonus Pocock), South America ( Caraboctonus Pocock and Hadruroides Pocock), and southwestern Eurasia (Calchas Birula and lurus Thorell). It was ini­tially recognized as a subfamily of the Pandinoidae Thorell to include the nominotypical genus and the North American Uroctonus Thorell, 187 6. Pocock ( 1893b) greatly revised the higher clas­sification of scorpions and considered an expanded family Iuridae to include three subfamilies: the Iurini (for Scorpiops Peters, lurus, Uroctonus, Anuroctonus, Vejovis C. L. Koch [= Vaejo­vis], Hadrurus, Caraboctonus, and Hadruroides), the Chaerilini (for Chaerilus Simon), and the Chactini (for the South American chactid genera and the European Euscorpius Thorell). Upon reevaluation by Kraepelin (1905), the Vaejovidae was expanded to five subfamilies: the Vejo­vinae (Vejovis, Hadrurus, Uroctonus, and Anuroctonus), the Syntropinae (Syntropis Kraepelin), the Iurinae (/urus), the Caraboctoninae (Hadruroides and Caraboctonus), and the Scorpiopsinae (Scorpiops) . The genus Calchas, described a few years before Kraepelin's revision, was placed in the subfamily Chactinae of the Chactidae. In Kraepelin's classification, then, the genera cur­rently assigned to the family Iuridae were distributed among four subfamilies and two families. This classification persisted for decades, with addition of genera to the existing subfamilies and a revision by Stahnke (1974) that separated Anuroctonus and Hadrurus from the Vaejovinae and placed them in a subfamily Hadrurinae. Vachon (1974) recognized the striking trichobothrial sim­ilarity between lurus and Calchas, but proposed no taxonomic changes.

The current composition of the family and its recognition as a family are mostly the result of a thorough study by Francke & Soleglad (1981). The main synapomorphy for the family is the presence of a large, darkened basally-positioned tooth along the ventral margin of the cheliceral movable finger. The family was divided into two subfamilies by these authors: the Iurinae (includ­ing Iurus and Calchas) and the Caraboctoninae (with the tribe Hadrurini for Hadrurus and the tribe Caraboctonini for Hadruroides and Caraboctonus).

Stockwell ( 1992) proposed the genus Anuroctonus Pocock as the sister group of the genus Hadrurus Thorell and resurrected the subfamily Hadrurinae Stahnke to accommodate them. While certain characters of Anuroctonus studied by Stockwell represent potential synapomorphies with the Iuridae, the significant differences that were discussed at length by Francke & Soleglad (1981) were largely ignored. Until these characters and others are addressed, the inclusion of Anuroctonus in the Iuridae should be regarded as tentative.

The family includes three subfamilies, six genera, 21 species, and five subspecies (including two nominotypical forms).

NOTES: This small genus was revised by Maury (1975d), and a key to the species known at the time was provided. Since then, three new species have been added (Francke & Soleglad, 1980; Louren~o, 1995i), but an updated key has never been published. The genus currently includes nine species. Hadruroides lunatus is associated with rocky habitats (Aguilar, 1968) and is com­monly found in the daytime underneath these rocks. Francke also collected specimens of H. lunatus under similar conditions, but found H. aguilari at night on top of bromeliad mats at the same locality (Francke & Soleglad, 1980).

DISTRIBUTION: NORTH AMERICA. Mexico, western USA.

NOTES: The genus Hadrurus is significant as its members are the largest scorpions in North America. They are commonly known as "giant hairy scorpions", owing to their size and setose metasoma and appendages. Williams (1970a) revised the genus, and provided keys for identifi­cation based primarily on color and setation patterns; an abbreviated treatment of the forms in Baja California followed (Williams, 1980). Soleglad (1976a) provided a key to species that emphasized trichobothrial patterns and described a new species, H. gertschi, that was not avail­able to Williams.

Species of Hadrurus are burrowing scorpions typically found in association with sandy desert soils (Williams, 1970a). An exceptional case is H. pinteri, which is found in rocky volcanic habi­tats on the Baja Peninsula. Yearly surface activity is sporadic, but some species exhibit seasonal bursts of activity that probably coincide with the mating period. Williams also reports very high population densities in some of the areas he sampled.

NOTES 1. There has been considerable discussion regarding the nature of material that Wood used to

describe H. hirusutus and H. emarginaticeps (Williams, 1970a, 1980; Stahnke, 1974b ). The

SCORPIONES: IURIDAE 417

views of Williams (1970, 1980) are accepted here, based on his ( 1980) designation of "Type Number S-6, Jar 2" as lectotype; this specimen matches material collected from the Cabo San Lucas area in Baja California Sur. Stahnke's H. thayeri remains in synonymy as a result.

2. Although Marx (1890a) was the first to suggest that H. emarginaticeps was a possible syn­onym of H. hirsutus, Williams (1970) was the first to apply the synonymy correctly. Hadru­rus emarginaticeps was formally placed in synonymy by Pocock (1902b) on the basis of Marx's opinion. This was repeated by Stahnke (1969), who may have examined the type specimen of H. emarginaticeps. However, both Pocock and Stahnke misidentified Hadru­rus hirsutus.

NOTES

1. Paraiurus Francke, 1985 was introduced as a new replacement name for Calchas Birula, 1899. However, the generic name Calchas Birula is valid since its alleged senior homo­nym Calchas Klug, 1850 is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Chalcas Fairmaire, 1847 (Coleoptera: Melyridae) (Pet & Madge, 1988: 252).

2. The genus Calchas Birula was originally described in Chactidae and was for some time placed in Chaerilinae (now a separate family). It was first recognized as a member of Iuri­dae by Francke & Soleglad (1981) who provided a detailed redescription of this monotypic genus. For other recent redescriptions and drawings see Vachon (1971) and Kinzelbach (1980).

NOTES

1. Francke & Soleglad (1981) included a detailed treatment of this monotypic Mediterranean genus in their phylogenetic analysis of Iuridae.

2. The locality "Samoa" (Stahnke, 1974: 123) is a misprint; should be "Samos" (an island in the Aegean Sea).
