This is Kari McWest's site http://angelfire.com/tx4/scorpiones
He responded to a question that i had and this is what he wrote;

Hey Warren,
There is really a ton that I want to do with that website, but at the moment, due to ethics, I can't really get into a lot of the distributions and such because of several manuscripts that await publication in which important distribution extensions are going to be "released", not to mention SEVERAL new species. I have been working on maps and things like that for the website http://angelfire.com/tx4/scorpiones but they must await the new publications. You see, unlike a few rare people, I believe that "stepping on the toes of others" is a bad thing, and that if one knows about someone doing research or working on a manuscript one just doesn't publish that bit of information or describes a new species or two unless the researcher is contacted. And in our little world of scorpion systematics, everyone knows what everyone else is doing. But that might have to change because some people just lack morality.

With that said, stay tuned! Zach is also working on such an application.

So I think this would be a good reference site for any future native species that we need to ID.
