Abstract

Here we report new distributional records for two species of scorpions previously known only from California. New records of Uroctonus franckei Williams, 1986, represent a new state record for Nevada. New records of Kovarikia williamsi (Gertsch and Soleglad, 1972), leveraged from citizen science, represent a new country record for Mexico.
