Gioele Tropea has recently described a new species of Euscorpius Thorell, 1876 (Euscorpiidae) from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.

Abstract:
A new species of scorpion, Euscorpius borovaglavaensis sp. n. from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, in Western Balkans, is described. It is similar to Euscorpius tergestinus (C. L. Koch, 1837), but with a dark brown color and a more south-eastern distribution.
