The symptomatology of envenomation by the Mediterranean Black Widow Spider, Latrodectus tredecimguttatus, is reviewed. The results confirm the hypothesis that the homeopathic remedy, Tarentula hispanica, is derived from this spider, not from the Wolf spider, Lycosa tarentula.

The following paper is a summary of studies of the biology of the Androctonus scorpion and its toxicology. A materia medica based on human envenomation by Androctonus is also provided.

The biology and toxicology of the lesser weeverfish, Trachinus vipera, is presented in a homeopathic repertory fashion to supplement the existing materia medica.
