A checklist of the scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones) of Panama, with two new records

In the present note, we compile a checklist of all scorpion species recorded from Panama. A total of three families, five genera and 14 species are confirmed to occur in the country, and previous records of two other families, four genera, and nine species are discarded as misidentifications, mislabelings, or accidental introductions. Two Buthidae species are herein recorded for the first time from Panama: Tityus tayrona Louren o, 1991 (so far known only from northern Colombia) and one apparently undescribed species of Ananteris Thorell, 1891.
