Perspective
Scorpio was regarded as a monotypic genus for a long time, containing one widespread and highly variable species, S. maurus, which had many subspecies. It has since been recognised that within S. maurus sensu lato there were a number of taxa which should be regarded as valid species and new species have been described from sub-Saharan Africa:[2][3][4][5]
