In the present study, comments are proposed on historical aspects of the most conspicuous scorpion species of the genus Tityus found in Brazil. Both Tityus bahiensis (Perty) and Tityus serrulatus Lutz & Mello are better known for their infamous reputation of noxious species. However, the original discovery and description of both species are associated with interesting historical episodes. A short comment is also provided on Tityus costatus (Karsch), the species possibly involved in the first record of a scorpion incident in Brazil.
在本研究中,对在巴西发现的蒂尤斯属最显著的蝎子种类的历史方面提出了评论。巴氏蒂尤斯蝎(Perty)和锯齿蒂尤斯蝎(Lutz & Mello)都因其作为有害物种的恶名而更为人所知。然而,这两个物种的最初发现和描述都与有趣的历史事件相关。还对肋状蒂尤斯蝎(Karsch)作了简短评论,该物种可能与巴西蝎子伤人事件的首次记录有关。
