Twenty two commercial samples of the Chinese crude drug "Quanxie (全蝎)," or dried Buthus martensii, were comparably morphologically studied. Most of the samples were so called "Xianquanxie (鹹全蝎)," prepared by boiling scorpions in salt water. No morphological differences were observed between the commercial samples from different places in China. However, the samples could be roughly classified into two types according to the color of carapace and tergite of the preabdomen: blackish type and yellowish type. Approximately 90% of the commercial samples were of the blackish type. A microscopic observation of B. martensii showed that the size of the tubercular process on the postabdomen was about twice that on the carapace and tergite of the preabdomen, and that the bristles on some parts were quite characteristic.
