Correction to: Applied Entomology and Zoology https://doi.org/10.1007/s13355-019-00647-9

The original version of article was published with few errors and the errors are corrected in this correction article.

The word “Odonthubutus” should be replaced with “Odontobuthus” throughout the article.

The affiliation 3 was published incorrectly as “Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran”. The correct affiliation should read as “Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran”.

Under the introduction section, the sentence “Prediction models of potential geographic distribution done using the maximum entropy…” was published incorrectly. The correct sentence should read as “Prediction models of potential geographic distribution using the maximum entropy…”.

The Figs. 1, 2 and 3 were published incorrectly and the correct versions of Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are provided below. In addition, the caption of Fig. 1 should read as “Final distribution map of Odontobuthus dorea, Odontobuthus bidentatus, and Scorpio maurus in Iran”.

Finally, under the reference section, the reference Azghadi S, Mirshamsi O, Navidpour S (2014),… was published incorrectly. The correct reference should read as, “Azghadi S, Mirshamsi O, Navidpour S, Aliabadian M (2014) Scorpions of the genus Odontobuthus Vachon, 1950 (Scorpiones: Buthidae) from Iran: Phylogenetic relationships inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence data.
