Tityus (genus)
Tityus is a large genus of thick-tailed scorpions (family Buthidae), the namesake of its subfamily Tityinae. As of 2010[update],[1] Tityus contains more than 200 described species distributed throughout the Caribbean and South America and in Central America as far north as Costa Rica. New species are being discovered and described every few months on average.
The genus contains several dangerously venomous scorpions, the best known of which is the Brazilian yellow scorpion, T. serrulatus. Its venom can cause severe illness, and in the young, old and infirm even death.
