hi guys, whilst browsing a book shelf in a shop i stumbled accross a book called spiders and scoprions. it is a look inside book and includes some very detailed pictures explaining the ins and outs of spiders and scorpions. anyway i handed over the cash and took it home for a better look.
i am not an expert with scorpions but there was one piece of information that caught my eye as being wrong and i wanted to double check before sending the correcting email to the publishers.
the part of the book about scoprions uses an emporer scorpion as its example. first of all it lists it as being the largest scorpion in the world, correct me if i am mistaken but isnt the largest the Heterometrus swammerdami? it then labels the emporer scorpion as having the scientific name Typhlochactas mitchelli. isnt it Pandinus imperator?? just thought i would clear up these bits of info in my mind
