The study of hemocytes in arthropoda is the most fascinating area of research. The hemocytes are having similarity with that of blood cells in vertebrates. The study of hemocytes is mostly concentrated around insects and the scorpion hemocytes are having limited attention by scientists. In the present investigation granulocytes (GRs) of five different scorpions- Mesobuthus tamulus tamulus, Mesobuthus tamulus concanesis, Orthochirus bicolor, Heterometrus xanthopus and Heterometrus phipsoni, were studied qualitatively as well as quantitatively.
