Buthidae is the largest family of scorpions, containing about 80 genera and over 800 species as of mid-2008. Its members are known as, for example, fat-tailed scorpions and bark scorpions. There are a few very large genera (like ''Ananteris'', ''Centruroides'', ''Compsobuthus'' or ''Tityus''), but also a high number of species-poor or monotypic ones.〔Rein, Jan Ove (2008): The Scorpion Files - (Buthidae ). Retrieved June 25, 2008.〕 New taxa are being described at a rate of several to several dozen new species per year.〔 They occur in the warmer parts of every major landmass on Earth, except on New Zealand.〔 Together with the Microcharmidae, the Buthidae make up the superfamily Buthoidea. The family was established by Carl Ludwig Koch in 1837.〔 Some Buthidae are of medical importance, and the sting of a few can kill humans. In dead specimens, the spine beneath the stinger, characteristic for this family, can be observed. ==List of genera and species== 〔 * ''Afghanobuthus'' Lourenco, 2005 * ''Afroisometrus'' Kovarik, 1997 * ''Akentrobuthus'' Lamoral, 1976 * ''Alayotityus'' Armas, 1973 * ''Ananteris'' * ''Androctonus'' – fattail scorpions * ''Anomalobuthus'' * ''Apistobuthus'' * ''Australobuthus'' * ''Babycurus'' * ''Baloorthochirus'' * ''Birulatus'' * ''Buthacus'' * ''Butheoloides'' * ''Butheolus'' * ''Buthiscus'' * ''Buthoscorpio'' (includes ''"Stenochirus" jinnahii'' and ''"S." rahmatii'') * ''Buthus'' * ''Centruroides'' – typical bark scorpions * ''Charmus'' * ''Cicileus'' * ''Cicileiurus'' * ''Compsobuthus'' * ''Congobuthus'' * ''Darchenia'' * ''Egyptobuthus'' * ''Grosphus'' * ''Hemibuthus'' * ''Hemilychas'' * ''Himalayotityobuthus'' * ''Hoplocystis'' (a ''nomen dubium''〔) * ''Hottentotta'' * ''Iranobuthus'' * ''Isometrus'' * ''Isometroides'' * ''Karasbergia'' * ''Kraepelinia'' * ''Lanzatus'' * ''Leiurus'' * ''Liobuthus'' * ''Lissothus'' * ''Lychas'' * ''Lychasoides'' * ''Mauritanobuthus'' * ''Mesobuthus'' (paraphyletic?) * ''Mesotityus'' * ''Microananteris'' * ''Microbuthus'' * ''Microtityus'' * ''Neobuthus'' * ''Neogrosphus'' * ''Odontobuthus'' * ''Odonturus'' * ''Orthochirus'' * ''Orthochiroides'' * ''Orthochirus'' (includes ''Paraorthochirus'' and ''Simonoides'') * ''Parabuthus'' * ''Pectinibuthus'' * ''Physoctonus'' * ''Plesiobuthus'' * ''Polisius'' * ''Psammobuthus'' * ''Pseudolissothus'' * ''Pseudolychas'' * ''Pseudouroplectes'' * ''Razianus'' * ''Rhopalurus'' * ''Sabinebuthus'' * ''Sassanidothus'' * ''Somalibuthus'' * ''Somalicharmus'' * ''Thaicharmus'' * ''Tityobuthus'' * ''Tityopsis'' * ''Tityus'' * ''Troglorhopalurus'' * ''Troglotityobuthus'' * †''Uintascorpio'' (Eocene, Green River Formation) * ''Uroplectes'' * ''Uroplectoides'' * ''Vachoniolus'' * ''Vachonus'' * ''Zabius'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buthidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
