Abstract

This is the first preliminary study on the scorpions of Kuwait. Three species of scorpions were identified, described and illustrated from the State of Kuwait. Identified species belong to family Buthidae: Apistobuthus susanae, Androctonus crassicauda and Compsobuthus pallidus. Measurements were given for Apistobuthus susanae. Morphometric measurements were given for the three species, along with comparison of Apistobuthus susanae and Apistobuthus pterygocercus.
