| This family consists of 10 genera and 128 species [Updated 05.05.03].
Most species have been described in recent times. There
has been a lot of discussion about some of the genera and
species in this family, and several genera have been
transferred to other families. The members of this family are
widespread in the Americas from Mexico into South America.
NEWS! Soleglad & Sissom, 2001 have
transfered the genus Chactopsis to the family Euscorpiidae.
Scorpions in this family are rarely kept in captivity.
Chactid scorpions are not medically important.
