Parthenogenesis

[ReignofInvertebrates]

Does anyone have a list of most/all of the known parthenogenetic species that are in the hobby? I know of Tityus stigmurus and Lychas spp. Specifically I’m curious if Tityus smithii is parthenogenetic, but I’d like to know if other species that are decently accessible reproduce this way.

I'm not a scorpion expert, but I thought T. smithii are not parthenogenic.

Hottentotta hottentotta are considered parthenogenic although there are some people that claim that they're not. When I had some adults, all of them produce scorplings every-so-often. Now I only have one adult and a few scorplings since I sold most off.

Tityus stigmurus, Tityus serrulatus and probably more Tityus species, but these are the ones that I know of. Tityus smithii is not parthenogenetic.

Hottentotta hottentotta. I don’t think anyone says they aren’t parthenogenetic, because it’s very well established that they are.

Janalychas tricarinatus (ex Lychas). You say ‘Lychas spp’ implying that all Lychas are parthenogenetic, which is definitely not the case. Janalychas tricarinatus is, but no other Lychas species that I know of.
There is also Pseudolychas ochraceus though, which is also parthenogenetic and closely related to Lychas spp.

Liocheles australasiae as well.

There are reports that certain populations of Heterometrus longimanus from the Phillipenes are parthenogenetic, but this hasn’t been properly documented, it’s all anecdotal and might be because the gestation period is so long, and people don’t know the scorpion was paired before they got/caught it.

Those are all the species I can think of.

Tityus stigmurus, tityus serrulatus, tityus metuendus, tiryus columbianus, tityus uruguensis, tityus trivittatus, janalychas tricarinatus hope this helps
