Abstract

From the order of scorpions in Altos de Campana National Park, province of Panama Oeste, the presence of two scorpions of the family Buthidae was analyzed. Four scorpions of medical importance are described in the family: Tityus jaimei, Tityus cerroazul, Tityus asthenes and Tityus festae. We studied the abundance of Tityus jaimei and Tityus cerroazul in Campana National Park in the dry and rainy seasons. We discuss some ecological and geographic distribution aspects. In recent years, the ecology of scorpions has been the least studied variable, so we analyze the ecological relationship of T. pachyurus and T. cerroazul in Panama, specifically in Campana National Park. The first observations on habitat use and its relationship with the climate of these species in Panama and basic information for future research are presented.
