About Centruroides nigrimanus (Pocock, 1898)

Centruroides nigrimanus (Pocock, 1898) is a species of scorpion that belongs to the family Buthidae. This species is endemic to Mexico, where its type specimen was collected in Oaxaca. It is found across the Mexican states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, and Guerrero. Pocock noted a juvenile specimen collected in Honduras in 1998 that he suggested might belong to this species, but this identification has never been confirmed, and it is considered unlikely to be correct.
