The Emperor is back! Rediscovery and redescription of the holotype of Pandinus imperator (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae)
The holotype of the Emperor Scorpion Pandinus imperator (C.L. Koch, 1841) was long believed to have been lost. In 2015, as scientists at the State Museum of Natural History in Stuttgart were digitizing its entomological collections, they rediscovered the specimen on which Koch had based his description of the scorpion in 1841.
متن کاملStructural and functional differences of two toxins from the scorpion Pandinus imperator.
The Pandinotoxins, PiTX-K alpha and PiTX-K beta, are members of the Charybdotoxin family of scorpion toxins that can be used to characterize K+ channels. PiTX-K alpha differs from PiTX-K beta, another peptide from Pandinus imperator, by one residue (P10E). When the two toxins are compared in a physiological assay, the affinity of PiTX-K beta for voltage-gated, rapidly inactivating K+ channels i...
متن کاملCharacterization of unique amphipathic antimicrobial peptides from venom of the scorpion Pandinus imperator.
Two novel antimicrobial peptides have been identified and characterized from venom of the African scorpion Pandinus imperator. The peptides, designated pandinin 1 and 2, are alpha-helical polycationic peptides, with pandinin 1 belonging to the group of antibacterial peptides previously described from scorpions, frogs and insects, and pandinin 2 to the group of short magainin-type helical peptid...
متن کاملMechanoreception by cuticular sensillae on the pectines of the scorpion Pandinus cavimanus
The pectines of scorpions are mechanosensory and – mainly – chemosensory organs. It is established that the pectines are contact chemoreceptors, e.g. involved in mating, selecting a suitable substrate for the spermatophore and predation. A previous study conducted by Schneider with the scorpion P. cavimanus suggested a possible role of the pectines for reflectory body-height adjustment [Schneid...
متن کاملChaerilus pseudoconchiformus sp. n. and an updated key of the chaerilid scorpions from China (Scorpiones, Chaerilidae)
A new species, Chaeriluspseudoconchiformus sp. n., is described from Xizang, China. The present new species is distinguished from its congeners by a body length of 32-40 mm, carapace with the anterior margin straight, chela with length/width ratio average of 3.3 in males (3.2-3.4, two adults), and 2.5 in females (2.3-2.6, nine adults), eight or nine (eight usually) rows of denticles on fixed an...
