Abstract

OCHOA, José Antonio. Patrones de distribución de escorpiones de la región andina en el sur peruano. Rev. peru biol. [online]. 2005, vol.12, n.1, pp.49-68. ISSN 1727-9933.

The geographical distribution of 24 scorpion species (five genera and three families) from the Andean corridor in southern Peru is provided. Some zoogeographic details of the implicated species are discussed (19 are exclusive from the area); these species are grouped into seven scorpiological areas: Desierto costero, Serranía esteparia, Puna, Queswa, Valles interandinos cálidos, and Yungas. The Lomas, Serranía esteparia and Queswa areas, are the areas with the most richness of species. The distribution patterns of species, which suggests the presence of three faunistic components in southern Peru: andean-patagonian, amazonian and caribbean, are analysed.

Keywords : Scorpiones; South America; Andes; southern Peru; distribution patterns.
