Common names:
This was the first scorpion species scientific described (by Linnaeus himself), and the name Scorpio means scorpion. The specific name, maurus means dark or obscure. The species is sometimes known a the Largeclawed Scorpion or Israeli Gold Scorpion.

Distribution:
Africa (Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia), Asia (Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Quatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, Yemen).

Habitat:
This species is often found in desert habitats, but can also be found in dry forrests. It is a burrowing species, which inhabits different types of substrats (burrowing must be possible). The burrows are often 20 - 70 cm deep (the bottom of the borrow is usually enlarged). This species lives in very warm habitats, but will experience winter temperatures down to 10-15 C in some areas (the scorpion will "hibernate" in the burrow during winter).
