This article implies that C. exilicauda and C. sculpturatus are synonymous. Is this the consensus among arachnologists? I see that Valdez-Cruz et al. report that their results "strongly support the conclusion that C. exilicauda and C. sculpturatus are in fact two distinct species of scorpions".

Hi,
Yes, Centruroides sculpturatus (the 'sculptured scorpion', a fitting name if you've observed them with any real frequency, as they sometimes seem as if they were 'chiseled' out of the wood they are on...) is the deprecated name for Centruroides exilicauda. On a side note, exilicauda is Latin for 'slender tail' (exili, and 'cauda'). Also, the original Genus name was to be Centrurus (IIRC), however that was already taken in the nomenclature, hence, Centruroides (roughly means "like centrurus" or thereabouts).
I have some pics and a little more info on my page at www.exilicauda.com, including a caresheet if you, like myself, happen to have vast numbers of them.
HTH,
Jason Berry

The section about venom contradicts itself?
″Two recorded fatalities have occurred in the state of Arizona since 1968; the number of victims stung each year in Arizona is estimated to be in the thousands. In Mexico, more than 100,000 people are stung annually, and during a peak period in the 1980s, the bark scorpion claimed up to 800 lives there.[4]″
