Scorpions of japan?

[pandinus]

I am doing a report, and it is essential that i not only find out if there are scorps in japan, but also what kind. A fast response is desired, thanx.

[carpe scorpio]

Yes, they are shiny blackish scorpions with large chela and very small metasomas. I don't know the species but I saw photos, habits should be similar to Heterometrus. They have a few different species there as far as I know.

Also, if you are doing a net-search, the Japanese word for scorpion is sasori.
