Pseudouroctonus peccatum

Of the 22 species and subspecies currently comprising genera Pseudouroctonus and Uroctonites (including the new species described by Tate et al. 2013), sixteen were described by Gertsch and Soleglad (1972). At that time, twelve of these species were placed in genus Uroctonus (now in family Chactidae) and the other four in genus Vaejovis. Stahnke (1974) moved most of the species placed in Uroctonus into genus Vaejovis and created the new genus Pseudouroctonus solely for P. reddelli. Stockwell (1992) reversed most of Stahnke's taxonomic acts by moving the species Stahnke placed in Vaejovis into Pseudouroctonus. Four other species have now been placed in Pseudouroctonus: P. m. minimus (Kraepelin, 1911), P. glimmei Hjelle, 1972, P. sprousei Francke and Savary, 2006, and P. saavasi Francke (2009).
