Introduction

The Urodacidae consist of a single genus, Urodacus Peters, confined to mainland Australia where 19 species were recognised by Koch (1977). The Urodacidae were recently elevated from a subfamily of the Scorpionidae (Prendini 2000), and suggested to represent the sister-group to the Heteroscorpionidae from Madagascar.
