Abstract

The bark scorpion, Centruroides exilicauda, formerly C. sculpturatus, is a native of Arizona and adjacent parts of New Mexico in the United States, and Baja California and Sonora in Mexico. A few specimens have been captured on the California side of the Colorado River. The general biology of this scorpion is discussed and the introduction of the arthropod into three California counties, probably in trailer paraphernalia and dune buggies, is described. Four probable stings by C. exilicauda in California and their public health significance are presented.

摘要

树皮蝎（Centruroides exilicauda，原名为C. sculpturatus）原产于美国亚利桑那州及新墨西哥州的相邻地区，以及墨西哥的下加利福尼亚州和索诺拉州。在科罗拉多河加利福尼亚一侧捕获过少量标本。本文讨论了这种蝎子的一般生物学特性，并描述了这种节肢动物可能通过拖车装备和沙滩车被引入加利福尼亚的三个县的情况。还介绍了在加利福尼亚发生的四起可能由树皮蝎蜇伤的事件及其对公共卫生的影响。
