ABSTRACT

A survey of the scorpion fauna of the Island of Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco (Brazil), was carried out in October 2005. Methods included active collecting and pitfall traps in several areas of the island under different degrees of human-caused alteration. Forty four scorpions, belonging to two species were collected: Isometrus maculatus (DeGeer, 1778), previously listed for the Island, and Tityus stigmurus (Thorell, 1877), here recorded for the first time. This species was probably introduced via cargo shipments from the continent and offers risk to the local population due to the gravity of the accidents.


Foi conduzido um levantamento sobre a escorpiofauna de Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco (Brasil), em outubro de 2005. Os métodos incluíram coleta ativa e armadilhas de queda em várias regiões da ilha, sob diferentes graus de alteração antrópica. Foram coletados 44 escorpiões de duas espécies: Isometrus maculatus (DeGeer, 1778), previamente listada para a ilha, e Tityus stigmurus (Thorell, 1877), registrada pela primeira vez. Trata-se de uma espécie provavelmente introduzida através do tráfego de material do continente, e que oferece risco à população local, devido à gravidade dos acidentes.
