Abstract

In animals, Sexual dimorphism can be based on morphological characteristics or measurable characteristics. In scorpion, except a few species that have two sexual forms, there is no significant difference between males and females. In this study, 12 measurable characteristics of male and female Hottentotta saulcyi, from the Rudbar area located on the border of Lorestan, Isfahan and Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces, were measured and analyzed by SPSS 16 software. Independent Sample T-test showed a significant difference between the three traits, the distance between the two shoulder lines, shoulder length, and the number of shoulder teeth between males and females. The result showed that in male, the length of the shoulder is significantly larger and also the number of shoulder teeth more than female, but the distance between the two shoulder strains in the material is larger than the male, and therefore, these traits can be in the diagnosis of both males and females.
