- Abstract
Scorpions in the Khenchela region (northeast of Algeria) are almost neglected. That is why this study concerns the census of the scorpion fauna in this region. A monthly collecting of scorpions during the period from March 2015 to February 2016 in three biotopes (edge of a dam, palm grove, and pine forest) of 3 districts (Babar, Chechar, and El-Hamma), resulted in the capture of 76 adults. Four species of scorpions were identified: Androctonus australis, Buthus aures, B. tunetanus (Family Buthidae), and Scorpio maurus (Family Scorpionidae).
