BUTHIDAE
C.L. Koch, 1837

With 73 genera (one extinct) and 529 species (until 1998), this family is the largest of the scorpion families. This family is widespread around the world (not found in Antarctica and New Zealand), and are found in tropical, subtropical and partly in temperate habitats.

The members of this family are small and medium sized scorpions with a triangular sternum (some genera have a more pentagonal sternum). In many genera (e.g., Androctonus, Apistobuthus, Parabuthus, and other Old World genera) the cauda is usually strong and powerful and the pedipalps are often very slender whereas other genera have elongate appendages, especially the males (e.g., Centruroides, Lychas, Isometrus and related genera). Many species are yellow or brown (or variations of these colors), but black forms are also present. Some species have quite intricate and attractive patterns (e.g., Lychas and Isometrus) and colours (e.g., Centruroides and Uroplectes). Sizes range from about 20 mm (like Microtityus and Microbuthus) to over 120 mm (as in Androctonus, some Centruroides, Apistobuthus and others).

Several species in this family are highly toxic, but fewer than 20 can be lethal to man. The most notorious species are found in the genus Androctonus, Centruroides, Hottentotta, Leiurus, Parabuthus and Tityus. See Scorpions of medical importance page for further information.

Unlike most other scorpion families, the Buthidae are of both scientific and public interest due to their medical importance in many parts of the world. Several species have also made their way into the hobby. Many of these are safe to be kept by experienced collectors, but the most dangerous species should be avoided.
