Rediscovery of a rare species of Paruroctonus (Scorpiones: Vaejovidae) from Big Bend National Park, Texas

ABSTRACT 

A recent search at Big Bend National Park has recovered specimens of Paruroctonus williamsi after a lapse of over 50 years with no records of the species, underscoring the importance of continued monitoring for rare species. This study includes photographs of living specimens, documentation of their habitat, comparisons with other species of Paruroctonus found at Big Bend National Park, and a list of scorpions observed near P. williamsi.

Many thanks to Western North American Naturalist, BYU, for providing me with the full-paper.
