| A brand new family, recently described from Central Asia
(Tajikistan, Uzbekistan). A monotypic family with only one
genus and one species thus far discovered. This species is
found in semi-savanna habitats. Although unclear, it is
possible that this family is related to Buthidae and/or
Chaerilidae.
This scorpion has not been reported in captivity.
No data have been found about the venom of these
scorpions.
