- This New World scorpion is from Mexico and USA (Arizona, New Mexico & Texas).
- This species is found in a variety of habitats and elevations, from desert to montane pine forest (desert flats to rolling grasslands to rocky slopes in mountains to about 7,000 feet or more. Not known to occur in dunes but has been found in sandy areas.), though most common in the Chihuahuan Desert biomes.
- They are burrowers.
- Males grow to about 35 mm (1.38"). Females grow 40 to 45 mm (1.57" - 1.97"), rarely as large as 55 mm (2.17").
- Flick and run is the common defense, although they will occasionally "stand their ground" with a defensive posture.
