AB Centruroides  exilicauda  (formerly  known  as  Centruroides  sculpturatus)  is  the  only  scorpion  of  medical  importance  in  the  United  States.  It  is  indigenous  to  the  deserts  of  Arizona,  but  also  can  be  found  in  Texas,  New  Mexico,  California,  and  Nevada.10  Occasionally,  envenomations  occur  in  nonindigenous  areas  of  the  country  from  “stowaway”  scorpions  in  travelers’  luggage.34
