Still enjoying my holiday, but time to start reading all the scorpion articles that have piled up. I'm starting with a recent article by Frantisek Kovarik that describes a new species of Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 (Euscorpiidae) from Montenegro. This is the third Euscorpius species from this country.
Euscorpius emae Kovarik, 2026
