Centruroides bicolor

Centruroides bicolor, a scorpion species native to Panama and Costa Rica, exhibits significant ecological diversity within the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Coiba National Park and its Special Zone of Marine Protection. This study documents its distribution across multiple provinces in Panama, including Bocas del Toro, Chiriquí, and Veraguas, highlighting its adaptability to various microhabitats such as intradomiciliary spaces, under stones, logs, and within dry tree trunks. The research compiles extensive material examined from over 200 specimens collected between 1975 and 2026, providing critical data on the species' habitat preferences and geographic range. Notably, C. bicolor's presence in Coiba Island underscores its role in marine-protected areas, contributing to biodiversity studies in tropical ecosystems.
