Abstract

The scorpion fauna of Jordan consists of fourteen species belonging to three families (Buthidae, Scorpionidae and Diplocentridae), of which three species are poisonous: Leiurus quinquestriatus, Adroctonus crassicauda and Buthus occitanus. A key to all species is included. Five hundred and forty-seven cases of scorpion stings were reported during 1982-1985, including two fatalities. Clinical data for sixteen cases treated at the Jordan University Hospital are summarized. In Jordan human and cultural customs are related to scorpion stings. Sting accidents according to age groups and seasons are given.
