ANANTERIDAE
Pocock, 1900*

This family inlcudes 7 extant genera and 128 extant species [Updated 02.05.24]. The family is mainly distributed in South America, but has members in Asia and Africa. Some taxa in the family are extinct: Palaeotityobuthus Lourenco & Weitschat, 2000, Troglotityobuthus Lourenco, 2000, Palaeoananteris Lourenco & Weitschat, 2001 and Archaeoananteroides Lourenço, 2016 (They are not included in The Scorpion files). The taxa in this family were previously incluced in Buthidae, but were trensferred to Ananteridae when this family was considered valid by Ythier, 2024.

SPECIES FILES:
This list of genera and species is based on Fet et al.(2000). Subspecies are included in the list. I try to update the list as additions and changes are published. * denotes changes after Fet et al. (2000). I will be grateful for information about new development in the taxonomy of this family. For information about synonyms and bibliographies, see Fet et al. (2000)
