This is a list of the scorpions of Trinidad and Tobago. The first synopsis of the scorpion fauna came from E. N. Kjellesvig-Waering [1] in 1966 with a total of 8 species. Work by Oscar Franke and Julius Boos, [2] Wilson R. Lourenço & D. Huber [3] and Lorenzo Prendini [4] brought the total to ten species with eight on Trinidad and six on Tobago. Of the ten species seven are endemic to the islands.
