| This family was recently elevated from subfamily status in Caraboctonidae to family status by Carlos E. Santibáñez-López and co-workers (2020).
Members of this family are found in North America (USA and Mexico) and consist mainly of large scorpions. Haduridae has currently has two genera and and 9
species [Updated 03.05.20].
Some species in this family (e.g. the long-lived and easy kept Hadrurus arizonensis) are kept in captivity.
The scorpions in this family are not considered medical significant, but sting might be painful.
Genus Hoffmannihadrurus Fet & Soleglad, 2004 has been synonymized with Hadrurus by Fracke & Prendini, 2008, but has been reinstated again by Fet & Soleglad, 2008.
