Resumo em Português:
A fauna escorpionica do Brasil é constituida de 37 especies e uma variedade, pertencentes a 4 familias e 10 generos. São as seguintes: FAM. BUTHIDAE. 1. Genero Ananteris - Com a especie A. balzani. 2 Genero Isometrus - Com a especie I. maculatus. 3. Genero Tityus - com as especies: T. microcystis, T. magnimanus, T. metuendus, T. cambridgei, T. duckei, T. paraensis, T. mattogrossensis, T. paraguavensis, T. pusillus, I. silvestris, T. intermedius, T. stigmurus, T. baiensis, T. costatus, T. trivittatus, T. dorsomaculatus, T. serrulatus. 4. Genero Rhopalurus - Com as especies: R. agamemnon, R. debilis, R. stenocuirus, R. melleipalpus, R. barythemar, R. rochai, R. acromelas, R. borelli, R. laticauda. FAM. SCORPIONIDAE. 5. Genero Diplocentrus - Com a especie: D. gundlachi. FAM. CHACTIDAE. 6. Genero Broteas. Com as especies: B. gervaisii. 7. Genero Broteochacatas - Com as especies B. parvulus e B. delicatus. FAM. BOTHRIURIDAE 8. Genero Bothriurus - Com as especies: B. bonariensis, B.signatus a var asper de B. bonariensis. 9. Genero Thestylus - Com a especie T. glasioui. 10. Genero Urophonius - Com a especie U. brachycentrus. De um modo eschematico, pode-se dizer que a fam. Bothriuridae está limitada ao sul do paiz e as fam. Chactldae e Scorpionidae limitadas ao norte (bacia amazonica). A fam. Buthidae se distribue do seguinte modo: o gen. Ananteris é limitado a Matto Grossoo gen. Isometrus é cosmopolita, o gen. Rhopalurus predomina no nordeste brazileiro e o genero Tityus é representado em todo o paiz, ao norte pelos grupos Cambridgei (bacia amazonica) e pusillus (bacia amazonica e Estado do Matto Grosso), no centro e sul pelo grupo stigmurus. No Estado de Minas predominam as especies T. bahiensis e T. serrulatus, aquella em Ouro-Preto, e esta em Bello Horizonte, Santa Barbara, Itabira. etc. Das especies referidas, 6 foram descriptas pelo auctor em collaboração ccm ADOLPHO LUTZ. São as seguintes: T serrulatus, T. dorsomaculatus, T. microcystis, T. intermedius, R. acromelas e R. melleipalpus.

The fauna of Brazil comprises 37 species and one variety of scorpions, belonging to 4 families and 10 genera. They are the following: FAM. BUTHIDAE 1. Genus Anateris with the species A. balzani. 2. Genus Isometrus with the species I maculatus. 3. Genus Tityus with the species: T. microcystis, T. magnimanus, T. metuendus, T. cambridgei, T. duckei, T. paraensis, T. mattogrossensis, T. paraguayensis, T. pusillus, T. silvestris, T. intermedius, T. stigmurus, T. bahiensis, T. costatus, T. trivittatus, T. dorsomaculatus, T. serrulatus. 4. Genus Rhopalurus with the species: R. agamemnon, R. debilis, R. stenochirus, R. melleipalpus, R. barythenar, R. rochai, R. acromelas, R. borellii, R. laticauda. FAM. SCORPIONIDAE. 5. Genus Dipiocentrus with the species D. gundlachi. FAM. CHACTIDAE. 6. Genus Broteas with the species B. paraensis and B. gervaisii. 7. Genus Broteochactas with the species B. parvutus and B. delicatus. FAM. BOTHRIURIDAE 8. Genus Bothriurus with the species: B. bonariensis, B. signatus and the variety B. bonariensis var asper. 9. Genus Thestylus with the species T. glasioui. 10. Genus Urophonius with the species U. brachycentrus. One may say in general terms that the fam. Bothriuridae is limited to the south of the country and the fam. Chactidae and Scorpionidae to the north (Amazon's Basin). The fam. Buthidae is distributed in the following way: the genus Ananteris is limited to Matto Grosso, the genus Isometrus is cosmopolitan, the genus Rhopalurus is dominant in the North-wester region of Brazil whits the Genus Tytius is represented in the whole country, in the North by the groups cambridgei (Amazons Basin) and pusillus (Amazons Basin and State of Mato Grosso, in the centre and South by the group stigmurus. Inthe state of Minas Geraes the dominant species are T. bahiensis and T. serrulatus the former in Ouro Preto the latter in Bello Horizonte, Santa Barbara, Itabira. Of the above mentioned species six were described by the author in collaboration with ADOLPHO LUTZ. These are the following: T. serrulatus, T. dorsomaculatus, T. microscystis, T. intermedius, R. acromelas and R. melleipalpus.
