The populations Hottentotta, Androctonus, Orthochirus,Fetilinia, Compsobuthus, Buthacus, Mesobuthusand Odontobuthus of the family Buthidae were increases from March to August with increase in temperature and their numbers were decreases from September to October with decrease in temperature. The numbers of the specimens belonging to genus Scorpiopsof the subfamily Scorpiopidae was high in August and less in October. The members of the genus Deccanometrus were increases up to August and then decreases from September to October with decrease in Temperature.
