Colonization of the Krakatau Islands (Indonesia) by Scorpions

[摘要] References(23)Cited-By(1)The Krakatau Islands, located between Java and Sumatra, consist of 4 islands which were sterilized by the volcanic eruption of Krakatau in 1883. 1982, three species of scorpions were collected in the islands. Two of these species had been previously recorded from the islands; Chaerilus variegatus nigricolor in 1908 and 1933, and Lychas mucronatus in 1933, but the other species Liocheles australasiae was newly recorded, The number of species of scorpions in the Krakatau Islands has thus continued to increase slowly: 1 in 1908, 2 in 1933 and 3 in 1982.
