Abstract
An adult female of the buthid scorpion Tityus stigmurus Thorell, 1876 was found in the Caatinga vegetation (c. 20 cm height), feeding on a juvenile of the mygalomorph genus Dolichothele Mello-Leitão, 1923 (Fig. 1). Because of the difficulty in identifying juveniles, the spider was classified to the genus level only. Dolichothele is represented by 11 small to medium-sized species, with no urticating setae (Valencia-Cuellar et al. 2019; World Spider Catalog 2021). These spiders are typically found under rocks, fallen trunks, and in naturally formed crevices (Valencia-Cuellar et al. 2019). In the Caatinga, all these microhabitats are also occupied by T. stigmurus scorpions (Lira, Souza &Albuquerque 2018).
在Caatinga植被中发现了一只1876年成年雌蝎Tityus stimurus Thorell(约20 cm高)，它以mygalomorph属Dolichothele mello - leit o, 1923年的幼蜘蛛为食(图1)。由于幼蜘蛛难以识别，因此该蜘蛛仅被分类为属级。Dolichothele以11个中小型物种为代表，没有荨麻疹的刚毛(Valencia-Cuellar et al. 2019;《世界蜘蛛目录》(2021)。这些蜘蛛通常在岩石、倒下的树干和自然形成的裂缝中发现(Valencia-Cuellar et al. 2019)。在Caatinga，所有这些微栖息地也都被T. stigmurus蝎子占据(Lira, Souza &Albuquerque 2018)。
