<i>Afrolychas braueri</i> Species of scorpion from the Seychelles

Afrolychas braueri, commonly known as the Seychelles forest scorpion, is a critically endangered species of scorpion in the family Buthidae. It is currently thought to survive only on Silhouette Island, Seychelles, although the species was historically found on two additional Seychellois islands. This scorpion lives in leaf litter in forests that are largely unaffected by invasive plant species. It is a small, yellowish-brown scorpion measuring 25 to 36 mm in length and is best distinguished from similar scorpions by having three conspicuous keels on its mesosoma's dorsal surface. While not much is known about the Seychelles forest scorpion’s ecology due to the paucity of sightings, it is known to rely solely on its venom to capture its prey and to care for its young. Its venom is not dangerous to humans.

Afrolychas is a genus of scorpion in the family Buthidae. There are two species in this genus, both of which used to belong to the genus Lychas. The genus was described in 2019 by František Kovařík. The genus name Afrolychas is a reference to the African range of its species and the fact that the two species used to be members of the genus Lychas. Afrolychas's closest relatives are believed to be the scorpions in the genus Pseudolychas. Afrolychas braueri is one of the rarest scorpions in the world, as it is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List.
