Parametric values of Androctonus crassicauda (Oliver, 1807) (scorpiones: buthidae) from Turkey
The aim of the present study was to analyze the parametric values of Androctonus crassicauda (Oliver, 1807), the most significant scorpion species in Turkey. For this purpose, 11 male and 11 female A. crassicauda specimens were collected from Sanliurfa region. The body parts most important for speci...
