Description

Figures 575–576: Figure 575. Locality 15CA, Sri Lanka, Central Province, Kandy District, Hantana (Peradeniya), University land, 07°14'54.7"N 080°36'54"E, 760 m a.s.l. Specimens of Heterometrus indus were collected along a road during a day under stones and under bark on the photo. A male was collected also in a kitchen inside a house. During night collecting on 19.– 21.IV.2015 (UV detection), we recorded a lot of specimens around their burrows. On the locality we recorded night temperature 25.6 ºC– 21.4 ºC (minimum temperature) and night humidity varied between 72% (evening) and 87% (morning). There also lives Heterometrus swammerdami and Buthoscorpio sarasinorum (type locality). Figure 576. Locality 15CB, Sri Lanka, Central Province, Matale District, Maragamuwa/Kumaragala, 07°41'58.5"N 080°42'26.7"E, 662 m a.s.l. During a day (21.IV.2015, temperature 26.1 ºC– 33.2 ºC, humidity 63%–88%) we recorded Heterometrus swammerdami inside termite constructions. There also lives Isometrus thwaitesi.
