Résumé
Ythier E. & François A., 2023. – La faune scorpionique de la région de l’Oriental au Maroc (Scorpiones: Buthidae, Scorpionidae) avec la description de trois nouvelles espèces du genre Scorpio Linnaeus, 1758. Faunitaxys, 11(3): 1 – 15.
Une étude des scorpions collectés dans l’Oriental et régions proches au Maroc par l’Emirates Center for Wildlife Propagation (ECWP, Missour, Maroc) durant les 22 dernières années est présentée. Environ 200 spécimens appartenant à quatre genres et 11 espèces sont répertoriés, incluant trois nouvelles espèces appartenant au genre Scorpio Linnaeus, 1758 (Scorpionidae) décrites sur la base de matériel collecté dans les hauts plateaux de l’Oriental (Scorpio touili sp. n.), dans le massif des Béni Snassen (Scorpio iznassen sp. n.) et dans la haute vallée du fleuve Moulouya (Scorpio moulouya sp. n.). Ces nouveaux taxons portent le nombre actuellement connu d’espèces de Scorpio à 21, huit d’entre elles étant présentes au Maroc. Un total de 12 espèces de scorpions sont reconnues pour la région de l’Oriental au Maroc.
