The female reproductive system in Scorpio maurus fuscus (Scorpionidae) is described. Situated on the ventral side of the ovariuterus tubes are buds and diverticulae belonging to three developmental phases: 1. Bud-like, rudimentary diverticulae that will form future generations. 2. Embryonic diverticulae that house the present generation. 3. Degenerating (= postpartum) diverticulae that contained the previous generation of juveniles just bom. The smallest buds, as well as scars of the previous postpartum diverticulae, can be identified only by scanning electron microscopy, or in microscopic sections of the ovariuterus tube.
