1 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, 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).

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. Hadrurus arizonensis Ewing, 1928 Hadrurus hirsutus var. arizonensis Ewing, 1928: 8-9.

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

9 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.
