Akrav

Akrav israchanani is an extinct species of scorpions from the Ayalon Cave in Israel. It is the only species in the genus Akrav and the family Akravidae.

Description
Akrav israchanani was an eyeless, brown, troglobitic scorpion of about 50mm in length first described from only 20 dry, cuticular remains of hollow carcasses. The name Akrav israchanani combines the Hebrew word for scorpion, "akrav", with the names of the researchers who identified it, Israel Naaman and Hanan Dimentman. == Habitat and distribution ==
Habitat and distribution
The scorpion was originally known only from the Ayalon Cave in Israel, a deep limestone cave, isolated from rainwater and the surface by a layer of chalk. The extinction of the scorpion is inferred from the lack of live or recently dead specimens. ==See also==
