Também chamado escorpião amarelo, podendo atingir até 7cm de comprimento. Apresenta o tronco escuro, patas, pedipalpos e cauda amarelos sendo esta serrilhada no lado dorsal. Considerado o mais venenoso da América do Sul, é o escorpião causador de acidentes graves, principalmente no Estado de Minas Gerais. Geralmente são encontrados em banheiros, principalmente próximos a caixas de papelão, roupas, sapatos, em locais úmidos etc.

Para combatê-los, evita-se juntar entulhos de construções, grandes concentrações de mato, pois pode atrair outros insetos dos quais ele se alimenta.
