Androctonus屬,俗稱的肥尾屬,忘了在哪看到過芒蠍這個譯名,國外書籍俗稱Fat-tailed scorpion,但有幾種算不上粗,無論怎樣,“肥尾”也不能準確概括該屬所有蠍種。維基百科原文:A rough English translation of the name Androctonus is "man-killer", from the Greek andras (άνδρας), meaning "man" and kteinein (κτείνειν), meaning "to kill". Crassicauda means fat-tailed, from the Latin crassus meaning "thick" or "fat" and cauda, meaning "tail". Androctonus crassicauda is widespread throughout the Middle East and its name means "fat-tailed man-killer". Similarly, the Latin word for South is australis, from which Androctonus australis, "southern man-killer", derives.大致意思,希臘文άνδρας表示人,κτείνειν表示殺,所以Androctonus應該翻譯為殺人蠍俗稱為埃及黃肥尾蠍的Androctonus australis,australis意為南部,所以整個翻譯應為南部殺人蠍,但AA在北非,所以這個南部應該指在埃及南部,我個人認為更靠近西南部,因為利比亞突尼西亞都是AA的活動地區。分 類
