Alpiscorpius gamma is a species of scorpion found in parts of Central and Southern Europe. Its body reaches the length of 32 mm and is darkly pigmented, but is largely indistinguishable from closely related species with which it forms the »mingrelicus complex«. The animal is not considered aggressive and has mild venom, so it is not dangerous to humans.[1]
Its known range includes Italy, Slovenia and Croatia,[2] being commonly distributed in Slovenia.[3]
Alpiscorpius gamma inhabits humid habitats where it rests in crevices under tree bark, beneath rocks etc.[1]
