Smeringurus is a small genus of scorpions native to Mexico and the southwestern United States within the family Vaejovidae. [1] [2] It is closely related to the genus Paruroctonus, of which it was formerly considered a subgenus. [3] [4]
List according to The Scorpion Files: [5]
Smeringurus has been treated as a separate genus (Stockwell, 1992), without data for justification beyond that provided originally by Haradon. We feel that the situation requires further study, but have listed Smeringurus as a separate genus here.
