Abstract

The endemic Namibian scorpion genus Lisposoma Lawrence, 1928 is a basal African lineage of the Gondwanan family Bothriuridae Simon, 1880. The natural history of Lisposoma remains poorly known. This contribution provides new records and observations on the natural history of Lisposoma elegans Lawrence, 1928 and Lisposoma josehermana Lamoral, 1979, based on recent fieldwork in Namibia.
