Labochirus is a genus of Thelyphonid whip scorpions, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1894. [1]
As of October 2022 [update] , the World Uropygi Catalog accepts the following three species: [2]
Uropygi is an arachnid order comprising invertebrates commonly known as whip scorpions or vinegaroons. They are often called uropygids. The name "whip scorpion" refers to their resemblance to true scorpions and possession of a whiplike tail, and "vinegaroon" refers to their ability when attacked to discharge an offensive, vinegar-smelling liquid, which contains acetic acid. The order may also be called Thelyphonida. Both names, Uropyi and Thelyphonida, may be used either in a narrow sense for the order of whip scorpions, or in a broad sense which includes the order Schizomida. For clarity, sensu stricto or s.s. may be added to specify the narrow sense, and sensu lato or s.l. added to specify the broad sense. When these additions are omitted, the names Uropygi and Thelyphonida are ambiguous.
Reginald Innes Pocock F.R.S. was a British zoologist.
Mastigoproctus is a genus of whip scorpions. Native to the tropical forest regions of northern South America, these whip scorpions can reach a length of up to 9 centimetres (3.5 in) and can weigh over 30 grams (1.1 oz). Despite popular belief, they are not venomous as, like all other whip scorpions, they do not possess venom glands.
Rhagodidae is a family of solifuges, first described by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1897.
Hypoctonus is a genus of Thelyphonid whip scorpions, first described by Tamerlan Thorell in 1888.
