In this study, the karyological features of three species Mesobuthus eupeus
and Mesobuthus gibbous was investigated from the family Buthidae and Euscorpius
(Euscorpius) aladaglarensis from t he family E uscorpiidae, ranging in Niğde Province.
As a result of karyological studies, it was determined that the diploid
chromosome number of Mesobuthus eupeus, Mesobuthus gibbosus, and Euscorpius
aladaglarensis as 2n= 20, 28 and 88 respectively. Two buthid species have
holocentric chromosomes, while the euscorpiid species has monocentric
chromosomes. During first meiotic division, we observed multivalent in one male
of E. aladaglarensis.
